Many of you may know him for his infamous youtube.com gaff, but in the world of online poker Jonas 'Nebuchad' Danielsson is a very big deal indeed. Boasting over three million in online tournament winnings, Jonas is arguably the game's best kept secret with few in the industry recognising his face. However, that is all about to change as Jonas was announced as Ladbrokes Poker's latest signing earlier this week. Joining the likes of Jeff Kimber, Andreas Hoivold and last year's WSOP finalist Jon Kalmar, Jonas will become a permanent fixture on the poker circuit as he travels the world in an attempt to echo his huge online success.
Hailing from Sweden, this high stakes player has already cashed in three events at this year's World Series of Poker, including the $10,000 Heads Up World Championship and the $2,500 Six-Handed Freezeout events. Sadly no longer a part of the main event, the latest Online Player of the Year will be looking to rail his remaining team members, not to mention the 100 strong Team Ladbrokes.
As always, Ladbrokes celebrated their latest acqusition in true style, with a poker tourney, and possibly a few drinks, at the Pure nightclub on the Las Vegas Strip, the home of the hugely popular Pussycat Dolls.
Edward Ihre MD of Ladbrokes Poker commented: “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 WSOP 08 events. So watch this space.”
