"Peril!" Champion James Holzhauer has just beaten another record.

In the episode of Tuesday, the 34-year-old has exceeded the million dollars in the shortest time. His $ 118,816 win earned him a total of $ 1.06 million after 14 games.

It's the third separate record that Holzhauer has broken since he started participating in the game show. Last Wednesday he had won the episode with a total of $ 131,127, the record one day that he had set earlier in his $ 110,914 run.

Before Holzhauer 's arrival, the day' s record was held by Roger Craig on September 19, 2010, when he won $ 77,000 in one game.

What was even more exciting was that Holzhauer's first prize, $ 110,914, had a special digital meaning: it was his daughter's birthday. She was born on November 9, 2014 (11/09/14).

"I've always said that I wanted to break the record of a Roger Craig match and I did it," Holzhauer said.
