James Holzhauer appeared to have met his match on Monday’s “Jeopardy!”The 34-year-old contestant, who had steamrolled through 17 straight victories with record winnings, actually fell behind during Final Jeopardy. Adam Levin, the sports information director at Brandeis, correctly asked “What is a Chamber of Commerce?” to a clue about “Organizations.” He bet $26,999 to climb to $53,999 against the $33,517 of Holzhauer, who had yet to reveal his response. But the ever-cool defending champ, a sports gambler by trade, had the correct question as well and wagered enough to beat Levin by just $18. It was reportedly Holzhauer’s lowest margin of victory by more than $4,000. “Adam made you earn it today,” host Alex Trebek told a relieved Holzhauer.
