Schneider won her 33rd game on Friday night, beating a full-time parent from Massachusetts and a financial analyst from California.
She dominated the game from the outset, finding and correctly answering all three Daily Double questions and ending the first two rounds with more than a $26,000 lead. Though she lost $20,000 on a"Cemeteries and Memorials" question in Final Jeopardy, she still ended with $10,200, bringing her total winnings to $1,111,800.
The win comes after she tied Holzhauer's record in a similar fashion on Thursday. When asked during the Friday show how it felt to have caught up to Holzhauer, Schneider said that she had never expected to do well — but that once she started winning more games, beating Holzhauer became"a target of mine.
She is $406,801 away from overtaking Matt Amodio's third-place spot for highest regular season play winnings, and only five games away from tying Ammodio's second-place streak of 38 games. But she still has a long way to go before upsetting Ken Jennings' records: $2,520,700 over 74 games.
