Known as ‘skalie’ online, Kalmar came fifth in last year's WSOP Main Event, cashing for $1.25m, and was the only Brit to make the final table. The sponsorship deal, which has been on the table since the beginning of 2008, was finally agreed on Tuesday night in Vegas.

Kalmar said: 'I'm thrilled, I can't wait to take up my role of Ladbrokes Poker pro in an official capacity! I'm raring to go. As part of Team Ladbrokes in 2006 I came 82nd in the main event and then finished in 5th last year let's hope I continue to improve upon my performance.'
