Purple Lounge Announces Stefan Mattsson Sponsorship Deal - Luxury Online Poker Room Sponsors Top Swede
London, UK (PRWEB) September 4, 2007 -- Purple Lounge, the world's fastest growing luxury online poker room and casino is proud to announce the sponsorship of Sweden's latest poker star, professional online and live tournament player Stefan Mattsson.
Purple Lounge, the leading poker and lifestyle site has confirmed a one-year partnership with 27 year-old Stefan Mattsson following his brilliant performance at the 38th World Series of Poker, finishing 22nd from a field of 6,358 in the $10,000 World Championship No Limit Texas Hold'em event.
Winning $333,490, this performance has been the highlight of Stefan's career to date. Proving he's not just a one hit wonder, Stefan's WSOP 2007 success follows a 4th placing at the Bellagio Cup III, which saw him walk away with $12,305 and an earlier WSOP placing which saw Stefan walk away with $ 123,699 in 2006. Stefan's impressive form has not gone unnoticed and he has secured a reputation as 'one to watch' in the world of poker.
"We're extremely proud and excited to welcome Stefan to the Purple Lounge team. Stefan is evidently talented and his skills at the poker table are incredibly impressive. We're thrilled to be working with him and we look forward to seeing what we can achieve together over the next year," said Chris Gorman, Chairman of Purple Lounge Limited.
"Stefan is a driven young man with a very bright future if he continues to build on his success at the same rate we've seen so far. We'd like to congratulate Stefan on his recent WSOP 22nd placing and look forward to celebrating many more successes moving forward."
Stefan's original game of choice was Blackjack, even working as a Blackjack dealer for a while. However, once he discovered poker there was no looking back. Stefan left his degree in Civil Engineering and embarked on a career as a professional poker player around three and a half years ago. Since then, his determination and resilience have brought him a wealth of opportunities as well as wins, proving him to be an exciting force within the world of poker.
"I'm delighted to be working with Purple Lounge, and I'm looking forward to building a great relationship with my new team. My WSOP result this year was simply mind-blowing and I'm confident I can achieve some more great results for Purple Lounge over the next year."
The sponsorship will see Stefan representing Purple Lounge as a brand ambassador on the international poker circuit at world-class tournaments as well as at a whole range of branded events including, conferences, exhibitions, parties and tours.
The partnership is timely for both sides, both having recently experienced large scale success in a short period of time, and on the verge of making a big impact in the industry. Stefan will play an integral part in Purple Lounge's marketing plans moving forward and the partnership will no doubt bring a substantial boost to both his profile and that of Purple Lounge.
