PokerStars.de ShootingStar Sandra Naujoks wins EPT Dortmund

Posted:March 2009

Sandra Naujoks, a member of the prestigious PokerStars.de ShootingStar team and Europe's current Leading Lady, has won EPT Dortmund for $917,000. The 27-year-old from Dessau is only the second woman to win an EPT after Victoria Coren, now Team PokerStars Pro, won EPT London in season three.

Naujoks triumphed in Germany's biggest ever poker tournament after beating fellow German Holger Kanisch, a 26-year-old economics student from Koblenz. Germany dominated the $5,300 No Limit Hold'em event with 270 players out of a 667-strong field, and 31 players cashing from a total of 64. Between them, German players won $2.1 million - more than half the total prize pool of $3,335,000.

Naujoks - known online as the "Black Mamba" - started playing live last year and almost immediately had her first big result - winning the European Championship at the Casinos Austria Poker Tour. She was elected Europe's Leading Lady at the European Poker Awards and joined the ShootingStar team at the PCA in January.
