James Holzhauer just won his 18th game on "Jeopardy!" But it was a close game ...

Our live coverage has ended, but we'll be back tomorrow night again at the same time. Scroll through the posts below to see how tonight's episode unfolded.

What is an 18-day winning streak?

James Holzhauer just won his 18th game. But it was a close game — he won by just $18.

This was the clue: “The oldest of these business booster groups, formed in Marseille in 1599, uses “de” instead of “of” in the name.”

The answer: "Chamber of Commerce."

Holzhauer ended with a daily total of $54,017 (Adam Levin came in second with $53,999). Holzhauer's overall winnings now stand at $1,329,604.

James Holzhauer usually has a staggering lead over his opponents going into Final Jeopardy.

That's not the case today.

Holzhauer has $33,517 going into the last question, while Adam Levin has $27,000. Jasmine Leonas isn't out of the game yet, and has $7,800.

Today's Final Jeopardy topic? "Organizations."

James Holzhauer is using the "Forrest Bounce" technique to win his way through "Jeopardy!"

How it works: The contestant jumps around from category to category, choosing tiles out of order to throw off his or her opponents.

Where it came from: Holzhauer is not the first to master the "Forrest Bounce." Previous contestants like Arthur Chu and Chuck Forrest (who the method is named after) have used it to both confuse opponents and rack up the most amount of money in a short span of time by starting from the bottom of each category, where the clues are hardest.

One thing to note: While effective if done right, it is not very popular among the show's staff, including host Alex Trebek, who has spoken out against the method.

Trebek argues that it disrupts the natural order of the show, which the writers work hard on preparing.

"Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek noted that twice in James Holzhauer's 17-game winning streak, he had a winning total of $9,812.

There's a reason for the oddly specific figure.

"On Sept. 8 2012, I got married," Holzhauer explained.

James Holzhauer's hit a Daily Double on his first pick of the show — and he got it wrong.

This was the $1,000 clue (the category was Breaks and Livers): “The portal vein brings venous blood to the liver while this artery bring oxygenated arterial blood."

Holzhauer got the question wrong — meaning his score dropped to -$1,000. Trebek even joked that it's unusual to see Holzhauer in the red.

But note — it's only the first round.
