Tournament: Naujoks nails EPT Dortmund
Sandra “Black Mamba” Naujoks won this year’s European Poker Tour Dortmund event Sunday, becoming the second woman behind Vicky Coren to score an EPT title. With the tournament’s $917,000 pot she also becomes the second woman to claim over $1 million in career poker winnings.
In addition to Naujoks, the $5,000 buy-in tournament’s final table consisted of Holger Kanisch, Marc Gork, Johan Storakers, Mike McDonald, Luca Pagano, William Thorson and Cengizcan Ulusu. Heads-up saw Naujoks holding A, 9 against Kanisch’s A, Q, and pulling out two pair on a flop-turn of A, 7, 2, 9o. When the river came blank Kanisch’s fate was sealed, and Naujoks found herself headed into EPT history.
Naujok’s win is the third EPT title to Germany’s credit this year, with Sebastian Ruthenberg taking home gold from the Barcelona Open and Moritz Kranich landing first at Deauville.
The EPT will next head to San Remo for a multi-event tournament that will run from April 18 to 23.
