Ladbrokes Poker has announced that last year’s Scandinavian online
player of the year, Jonas ‘Nebuchad’ Danielsson, has joined Jon
Kalmar, Roy Brindley, Jeff Kimber and Steve Davis as a member of
its fully sponsored team.
The Swedish high-stakes player won three million dollars last
year online to make himself Europe’s biggest winner across all cash
games and has already cashed during this year’s $1,500 six-handed,
$10,000 Heads-Up World Championship and the $2,500 six-handed
events.
'It goes without saying that we wanted him in our stable of
sponsored players,” said Edward Ihre, Managing Director for
Ladbrokes Poker.
“Jonas started his career by playing our free tournaments and
has developed into one of the most formidable online players.
'The signing of ‘Nebuchad’ is great news for us. He's an
exciting addition to what is already a very established, respected
poker team. Jonas, a very popular member of Team Ladbrokes, has
already started to make waves having cashed in three World Series
of Poker 2008 events, so watch this space.”
Twenty-five-year-old Danielsson was born in Stromstad but moved
to Uppsala five years ago in order to study technical physics. His
best online performance so far was winning more than $150,000 at
Ladbrokes Poker’s Legends Reunion in November.
'It's a really satisfying feeling to finally become a part of
Team Ladbrokes as it is where I've played poker all of my 'poker
life',” said Danielsson.
“The competitive poker that is offered at Ladbrokes has
developed my game into what it is today.”
