The two 22-year-olds are considered to be poker prodigies in Sweden, and both have played poker on the live circuit with money finishes in ((PokerStars.com)) European Poker Tour events under their belts. They also played in the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event.
Molander is the leader of the two when it comes to monetary results. His tournament cashes so far have resulted in nearly $500k in winnings. That includes five EPT cashes, a WSOP cash and many other events around the world going back to 2005.
His biggest live win was at the Helsinki Freezeout, where he won more than $120,000.
Jelassi isn't too far behind him in the cash count with $317,717 in live tournament cashes. His biggest win to date was when he took down the €1,000 No-Limit Hold'em side event during the World Heads-Up Poker Championships in Barcelona in 2006.
He also has four EPT cashes, a couple Aussie Million event cashes and more.
"RedKings is delighted to have Jonas and Ramzi join our team and we welcome them to RedKings Poker," said RedKings' Michael Golembo.
"They are both hugely talented and successful poker players and great guys both on and off the tables. They are a perfect fit to the RedKings Brand and we look forward to working with them!"

Jelassi and Molander are also highly successful online poker players. They've each won more online than their combined live winnings.
With their new sponsorship deal with RedKings Poker, the two Swedes will now be able to play in more major live events all over the world.
"We are very excited to get this chance but also very keen to prove that RedKings has chosen the right players to sponsor," said Ramzi and Jonas. "It motivates us even more to score that big win in an EPT or WSOP."
According to RedKings Poker, the two will make their first appearance as RedKings Poker players in the upcoming Amsterdam Classic.
