Snake Strikes Again
There was a time in the past decade even when land and online casino poker were
considered a man’s game. In the more recent years though a host of truly
talented women poker pros have hit the stage and they are making waves in the
industry – and taking home some decent wins from some of the big land tourneys
in the region. The most recent win to rock the land and online casino gambling
industry comes from Sandra Naujoks. Known in the industry as “Black Mamba,” this
skilled German player is just 27 years old and is really beginning to make a
name for herself. Just this past weekend she boosted her bankroll by a whopping
Euro 917,000 by taking home the top prize in the European Poker Tour Dortmund.
The EPT is a very popular event in the industry that attracts a lot of the top
talent from the land and online casino gambling industries in that region. For
this EPT, Naujoks was able to walk home the proud winner – a title that, despite
her growing talent, has largely alluded her game-play at this point. In the past
year she has had some pretty high-profile game play with other pros from the
land poker halls and online casinos.
In addition to her time spent honing her poker skills Naujoks is known as a
graphics designer and a model in Germany. Holger Kanisch was left at the last
moments of the final table event definitely deserved his winning payday for
second place – although he took in second place there was a while when it really
was anyone’s game and there was no way to predict which player would walk home
with the most winnings. |
