Before Holzhauer, Robert Craig was the previous record-holder with $77,000 won in a single episode, which Holzhauer bested on the April 9 episode with $110,914 before going on to beat his own record on the April 17 episode.Monday night’s episode saw Holzhauer finish strong, winning a total of $90,812 and bringing his 13-day total to $942,738.
