LadbrokesPoker.com has announced the signing of Swedish high stakes poker pro Jonas "Nebuchad" Danielsson. The signing was officially revealed this week at the Ladbrokes Poker Media event in the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
So far in this year's World Series of Poker, Nebuchad has cashed in three events. They include the $1,500 six-handed event, the $10,000 Heads-Up World Championship event, and the $2,500 six-handed event. Online, he has won more than $3,000,000.
The site has made another announcement also, and that is the line-up, seat draw, and new format for its television show, Poker Million VII. The line-up includes notable players such as Brits Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott, Roland de Wolfe, and Barny Boatman, Russian Alexander Kravchenko, and Irishmen Ciarán O’Leary and Andy Black.
$500,000 in prize money will once again be added, with places paid down to 16th. The winner will receive $1,000,000.
For the first time ever, online players will get the opportunity to win a $120,000 seat into the Poker Million semi finals, via 120 freerolls from August — November.
Another twist to the format sees players who fall one short of first in any of the twelve heats get a second shot at a place in the semi-finals in one of two "Second Chance" turbo STTs.
Edward Ihre, Managing Director of Ladbrokes Poker said, “Poker Million is one of the most popular and richest televised tournaments and these exciting changes are sure to create even more of a buzz around the event.”
The show will air from 9th September — 9th December, with the semi final and finals broadcast live on 10th December — 12th December.
