Keith Woernle Wins Ring Event #7 at Harrah’s St. Louis
26-Year Old From Montgomery, AL Takes Home $31,477 and
the Ring
The World Series of Poker Circuit Events at Harrah’s St. Louis continued Friday evening with
the conclusion of Ring Event #7.
The winner of the $555 buy-in No Limit Hold’em tournament was Keith Woernle of
Montgomery, AL. It was his largest-ever major tournament win, earning him $31,477 and
the coveted WSOP Circuit gold ring.
276 players entered the two-day tournament, generating at total prize pool of $131, 171.
The event paid out 30 spots.
16 players returned on day two to play it out on day two and a few hours into play it was
down to the official final table. Although Woernle started the final table as the chip leader, it
would not be an easy road to victory. Joining him was notable pro Ari Engel who was in the
middle of the pack.

Keith Woernle Montgomery, AL 1 974,000
Shawn Arnold Tulsa, OK 2 341,000

Noah Nodine Oklahoma City, OK 7 283,000
Ari Engel Las Vegas, NV 8 408,000
Jovan Sudar Omaha, NE 9 100,000
Ninth Place
A couple of the short stacks were able to double up early after final table play began at 3:
25 pm with blinds and antes at 1,000/4,000/8,000, but Darren Dwyer wasn’t as lucky after
moving all-in with [Ac][Jc] from the small blind and getting a call from Shawn Arnold who
tabled [Ah][Qs]. The board paired both players’ kickers, leaving Arnold trailing through the
river. The Salem, IL resident earned $2,888 for ninth.
Eighth Place
2010 Horseshoe Council Bluffs Main Event champion Jovan Sudar couldn’t get much going
with his deficient stack of chips and was eliminated after moving all-in preflop with pocket
jacks vs. Joel Shulruf’s K-Q when a king hit the turn. Since his first major tournament cash
back in 2007at the Horseshoe Classic in Council Bluffs, Sudar has had strong results,
including two final table finishes at the Venetian deep stack in February. The 28-year-old
poker pro from the former Yugoslavia now living in Omaha, NE earned $3,620 for his efforts
in Ring Event #7 at Harrah’s St. Louis
Seventh Place
Blinds crept up to the 6,000/12,000 level before Noah Nodine made a final all-in stand with
[Ad][6s] and was called by Engel, who had pocket 8’s. The eights held firm through a jack-
high board giving Engel the pot and eliminating Nodine. Nodine is a 37-year-old
pharmaceutical sales rep from Oklahoma City, OK. He has numerous major tournament
cashes worth over a total of $176,000. He added another $4,607 to his total earnings for
his seventh place finish.
Sixth Place
The rest of the level saw a number of double ups by the short stacks, but the 8,000/16,000
level of blinds brought a barrage of bust outs. Shawn Arnold was the first in the level to
bust after moving all-in from the big blind with [Qd][3d] vs. Engel’s pocket jacks. Don
Norman was eliminated a short while later after getting rivered with A-J all-in vs. Shulruf’s A-
8. Fifth and sixth places paid $7,811 and $5,953, respectively.
Fourth Place
The fourth place finisher was Gary Welch. He saw his exit after moving all-in pre-flop with
[Kc][Js] and failing to improve on the board against Engel, who called with pocket queens.
The Perryville, MO resident earned $10,415 for fourth.
Third Place
In addition to playing poker for a living, Engel is an esteemed poker coach. Years ago, he
picked up Shulruf as a student, teaching him much of what he knows of the game. Through
most of the second half of the final table, teacher and pupil were atop of the leader board.
However, when play got down to three, the two chip leaders got tangled in an all-in pot
when Engel got all his chips in the middle with [Kc][Js] and Shulruf made the call with [As]
[7c]. The board ended up pairing the pupil’s seven, sending teacher to the rail in $14,117.
Engel is 27-years-old from Las Vegas, NV by way of Brooklyn, NY. He has numerous major
tournament cashes including two WSOP Circuit championships. He added another cash
worth $14,117 to his resume for third place.
Heads up play was between Shulruf and Woernle. With Shulruf at a 5-1 advantage over his
opponent, it was almost certain to be a quick matchup. However, this is poker and after
doubling up twice, Woernle was able to pull within even before cruising to a 2-1 lead over
Shulruf. Heads up play lasted over two hours with the duo trading the chip lead back and
forth between one another.
The final hand of the night occurred with both players all-in after turn on a [Ad][Kd][4s][Td]
board. Shulruf turned over pocket tens for the turned set, but was left needing to pair the
board or pick up the last ten in the deck after Woernle tabled [9d][7d] for the flush.
The river was the [Jd], giving Woernle his first major tournament victory and a runner up
finish to Shulruf.
Shulruf is a 26-year-old poker pro from Buffalo Grove, IL. A one-time WSOP Circuit
champion, Shulruf was denied a second gold ring but picked up $19,455 for second.
For his victory, Woernle pocketed a healthy $31,477 and the coveted WSOPC gold ring. He
played a well-fought match to earn his win, coming back from a huge deficit to win it all.
Still to come are 13 events and 3 ring events.
