Although the local "Jeopardy!" super champion didn't take first place, Adriana Harmeyer was still able to walk away with a $75,000 prize.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - The Jeopardy tournament of champions came to an end for a Purdue professor tonight. Adriana Harmeyer of West Lafayette had 15 straight wins on Jeopardy over the summer and won a total of 349-thousand dollars during her time competing on Jeopardy. Those wins earned her a spot for the Tournament of Champions.

Wednesday's round of the Tournament of Champions could be the last for Purdue's Adriana Harmeyer, or it could bring her back up to tie.

Adriana Harmeyer, an archivist at the university, survived a difficult "Final Jeopardy!" clue to pick up a win on the first night of the tournament's finals.

Harmeyer's Friday night win brings her one step closer to the $250,000 grand prize, which is awarded to the finalist who first receives three game wins.

With his response of “Argos,” Vinjamuri added $7,201 to his score to bring his grand total to $20,801. Harmeyer added $6,000 to her score and ended with $16,400. But if she had been tied with Vinjamuri going into Final Jeopardy, the wagers would’ve likely been different — and a tiebreaker could’ve potentially been needed.
