PND: In your opinion, what has made Ladbrokes Poker so popular with players over the years?

PND: What was the atmosphere like at the 2008 WSOP?
Danielsson: I’m really looking forward to the 2009 WSOP already. You get to meet so many people and have a lot of fun while playing in some of the largest tournaments anywhere. I honestly believe that the hospitality that comes with being a member of Team Ladbrokes is second to none.
