Last Time at Hollywood St. Louis

Keith Heine
Keith Heine

Last fall at Hollywood St. Louis, local poker legend Keith Heine claimed victory in the Inaugural RunGood Poker Series St. Louis $800 Main Event for $88,506.

The field saw a total of 682 entries, creating a massive prize pool of $484,220. Heine came into the final table in the middle of the pack, but bided his time patiently as the clock ticked on. “I’m not out until they take the last chip. That’s how I approach every tournament and especially at a final table. Anyone can win. It’s whoever has a little more luck and whoever has a little more determination.”
