So this Jeff Madsen character...

is tearing up the wsop this year. He was 21 years old and 1 month when he Event 22... AND, on top of that, he just made his 4th final table last night, in event 35 (Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Split).

He was an unknown because he wasn't 21 yet but my god did he make an impact immediately. He says he played mostly at an Indian Casino in LA, so I don't know if he is a prominent online player or not.


So far his 2006 WSOP results have been:

Event #8 - WSOP Omaha Hi/Lo - 3rd place - $97,552
Event #22 - WSOP NL Hold'em - 1st place - $660,948
Event #30 - WSOP NL Hold'em Shorthanded - 1st place - $643,381

Event #35 - Seven Card Stud... just made the final table.

Wow...he's making quite the mark...
Now what will really make him a big name is if he makes FT in the main event ....

Final table at the main event or not, that boy has made some serious scratch thus far.

He ended up finishing 3rd in the Seven Card Stud event...

Ahh, to be 21 again, then i could remember what im doing and not forget my hole cards in 2 seconds,lol, If i were 21, i`d be bustin up them tables for sure,lol>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> buck:hello:

Me and a buddy at work where talking about him last night very impressive, hopefully ESPN will do a story on him for their wsop when it comes out.

Actually, while I was watching ESPNews earlier they did an interview with him. He got his money to buy-in from borrowing $3500 from his parents -- then he took another $6000 from his college fund -- and planned on playing in only 6 events. He never had any intention to play in the Main Event as it was out of his bankroll, but that's all a moot point now as he has amassed nearly $1.5 million.

I guess he will be in the main event now that his cashflow problems have been solved
