Main Line 'Jeopardy!' Champ Wins Again After Defeating Holzhauer

PAOLI, PA — Paoli's Emma Boettcher, the David to James Holzhauer's Goliath, earned her second victory on the storied game show "Jeopardy!" Tuesday night and will continue her run this evening.

Going into Wednesday's game, the 27-year-old librarian at the University of Chicago has a two-day prize of $71,401 after winning an additional $24,600 Tuesday.

Boettcher, a Conestoga High School graduate, defeated Holzhauer after a 32-game win streak that landed him $2.4 million Monday night.

She defeated him with a $46,801 payout at the end of the game Monday.

Boettcher has been using tactics that Holzhauer used: going for Daily Doubles early and choosing clues from the bottom up rather than the top down.

On Tuesday, when Boettcher bet all her money on a Daily Double, "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek made a comment about her taking cues from Holzhauer. Boettcher appeared to balk at that comment and has said in interviews that she already had that game plan in mind before Holzhauer's rise.

Boettcher will take on two new opponents Wednesday night on "Jeaopardy!", which airs at 7 p.m. on ABC.
