Jeff Madsen is an American poker player. He is a four-time WSOP bracelet winner, and was named WSOP Player of the Year in 2006.
Biography
Born in Santa Monica, California on June 7, 1985, Madsen learned poker before attending college at the University of California.
Three years later, he attended his first WSOP in 2006. At the age of 21 years and five weeks, Madsen won his first bracelet in a $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em. At the time, he was the youngest player ever to win a WSOP bracelet. However, this record has subsequently beaten by Steve Billirakis and then Annette Obrestad.
He added a second WSOP bracelet the same year, with two more following in 2013 and 2015.
Madsen currently sits with over $5.6 million in lifetime earnings, with numerous other wins at the L.A. Poker Classic, Borgata Winter Open, PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and California State Championship.
