Ladbrokes Poker Signs Peter “Zupp” Jepsen
December 4, 2008 by TG
So much for being a Full Tilt “Red Pro”. In the midst of several departures (David Benyamine and Clonie Gowen), it’s being reported now that Peter Jepsen has bailed to head over to Ladbrokes.
Ladbrokes Poker has announced that they have signed a sponsorship contract with Peter “Zupp” Jepsen to represent the room. He will sport Ladbrokes gear at many offline events to include the European Poker Tour and World Poker Tour tournaments as well as all the Ladbrokes events.
The announcement which came yesterday out of Copenhagen stated that the agreement will officially begin on January 1, 2009 and last initially for one year. Peter is a young and motivated poker player who is a tough competitor that does very well in both high stakes cash games as well as multi table tournaments online.
The announcement is comes as no surprise as Jepsen is good friends with fellow Ladbrokes Poker pro Jonas “Nuchbad” Danielsson. Ladbrokes has found itself with two young and talented players who define the profile of a Ladbrokes Pro. Jepsen will have his own online promotions to include Heads Up tournaments and multi table tournaments at Ladbrokes where players will have the chance to challenge and take down the new pro.
“Peter Jepsen was our main target to become our new Danish sponsored player and we are very pleased to have secured his signature. Peter is one of the best online poker player’s in Europe and has also proved that he is a good player in live tournaments after his EPT win in Warsaw last year.” said Edward Ihre, Ladbrokes Poker Managing Director.
