Amodio placed third in a game on Monday, Oct. 11, ending his record-breaking run.

Only one other contestant has won more consecutive games than Amodio: Ken Jennings, who won 74 consecutive games, Jeopardy! said in an announcement.

“To see myself on this stage at all was an honor,” Amodio said in a statement. “And everything that’s happened since, I just can’t fathom.”

Amodio previously made headlines for being only the third person in the history of the game show to win more than  $1 million in regular-season play.
