PokerNews Launches Finnish Website

PokerNews has just launched their Finnish website PokerNews Finland (http://fi.pokernews.com). This is the fourth PokerNews native language website in Scandinavia.

(PRWEB) October 13, 2006 -- PokerNews continues to extend its global reach with the recent introduction of PokerNews Finland (http://fi.pokernews.com). PokerNews Finland will provide the latest poker news and information to the people of Finland – in their own language.

In Scandinavia poker has become increasingly popular, and more players per capita play online poker there than any other region in the world. At the recent WSOP there were a number of Scandinavian players that made their mark, and they are generally feared at the poker table.

Editor of PokerNews Finland Atte Jalonen is enthusiastic about having a poker website dedicated to his homeland, “I'm very pleased about the launch of Poker News Finland. Poker here in Finland has been a big thing for a while now both on and off line.”

Atte believes that PokerNews Finland will be a great resource for the already knowledgable Finnish poker community, “The Finnish site will provide all Finnish speaking players with the latest news from our country and around the world. I believe Scanadavian poker players, Finnish especially, are amongst the most talented in the world."

The addition of Finland brings the number of countries with a dedicated PokerNews website to fourteen. There are now PokerNews.com native language sites in the USA, UK, Germany, France, Holland, Italy, Russia, Sweden, Poland, Australia, China, Portugal, Japan and Norway.
