Peter Jepsen couldn’t resist joining forces with one of the most popular online gaming site in Europe when Ladbrokes Poker came knocking on his door.
Ladbrokes Poker was on the hunt for a new Danish poker pro to sponsor, and the lure of representing the site was too much for Peter Jepsen to resist. Ladbrokes Poker announced today the poker pro has agreed to a sponsorship deal with the site.
"And it's a natural way to go for Ladbrokes," said Richard Funch, Ladbrokes Poker country manager for Denmark. "A new time is here within poker, and Peter is the man of the future." Despite signing on as a sponsored poker player at Full Tilt Poker Peter Jepsen was looking to raised his profile even further within the poker community.
"I have been with Full Tilt for a year, and it has been nothing but great, but of course this deal will profile me more than being a part of Full Tilt's big armada," Jepsen said. "And I am delighted to be back with the site where my online career practically started and that has given me a lot of my initial bank roll."
Instead of one of a pack of sponsored players, Jepsen will be one of a kind at Ladbrokes Poker. He will replace Morten "Pokergirl" Erlandsen as the player representing Ladbrokes Poker in both online and live tournament.
