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.

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.

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

Heading into Final Jeopardy, Adriana had 22,000 against Ryan’s 12,000, which meant this game wasn’t a runaway, but certainly close heading into the final round. The category was “Countries of the World,” with the clue reading, “About 80 miles from Vladivostok, its 11-mile land border with Russia is the shortest of that country’s 14 neighbors.”

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.

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.

Purdue's Adriana Harmeyer wins the first 'Jeopardy!' 32nd Tournament of Champions final thanks to final Jeopardy question.

Although Purdue professor Adriana Harmeyer did not win Wednesday night's episode, she'll have another chance to tie for first on Thursday.
