Holzhauer is quick on his feet and quick with the buzzer, displays an extraordinary breadth of knowledge and - true to his profession - is cold-blooded in his willingness to risk big sums of money.
Jennings is also the all-time leader in winnings with more than $2.5 million. If Holzhauer keeps winning, he could go for that record too.
