Engel's best result to date is a first-place finish in the 2016 Aussie Millions Poker Championship, his only 7-digit score, for $1,120,110. [12]

Engel has a way to play the game based on positions (before the flop as well as after the flop) rather than a fixed range (or ranges) for all situations, making the game oversimplified but could also make the game tougher if several opponents has the same strategy. [13] [14]
