    Jeopardy! "super-champion" Adriana Harmeyer won her 11th game Wednesday night to push her earnings total to $258,700 total. Harmeyer's streak is becoming increasingly remarkable; when she achieved super-champion status Tuesday night, she became one of only 17 contestants ever to do so. She is in 15th place in all-time Jeopardy! regular play winnings.

    She is the leading winner of Season 40 of Jeopardy! Her opponents Wednesday were Michigan attorney Connor Townsend and Florida student Enzo Cunanan.

    At the end of the first round, Adriana took the lead with $7,600. Townsend had $2,000 and Cunanan had $4,000.

    In Double Jeopardy!, Cunan took the lead temporarily over Harmeyer after Harmeyer made a conservative Daily Double bet. But byy the end of Double Jeopardy!, Harmeyer was back in the lead with with $20,600 going into Final Jeopardy. Cunanan followed close behind with $16,400 while Townsend lagged behind with a measly $9,600.

    In Final Jeopardy, Cunanan answered first to take the lead at $31,400, more than Harmeyer had won in all of her 11 nights on the show. But she saved her best performance when she needed it most, unseating the Floridian with an answer that propped her to $33,000.

    Harmeyer will play again Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
