Tulsan Joshua Brakhage ran away with Wednesday's broadcast of "Jeopardy!" leading after the first and second rounds.

Brakhage extended his lead in Double Jeopardy by answering a Daily Double worth $3,200: "This small emirate is nestled between Iraq and Saudi Arabia." (What is Kuwait?)

Brakhage had $19,000 leading into Final Jeopardy, while the other two contestants had $2,400 and $1,000.

Final Jeopardy was "The first of Jane Austen's 6 novels to be published in her lifetime, its title is last alphabetically."

After correctly answering "What is Sense and Sensibility?" and wagering $1,006, Brakhage ended with $20,006.

Brakhage will appear again on "Jeopardy!" which airs 4:30 p.m. weekdays on KTUL, channel 8.

The "Jeopardy!" site already had Brakhage on display in its winner's video here.
