Barely Legal Poker Boy Becomes Millionaire in WSOP
Poker players are getting younger. Or maybe everyone else is just getting older.

Jeffrey Madsen has now won two elusive WSOP bracelets at the tender age of 21 - the youngest ever winner at the World Series of Poker event, Madsen became legal to play in Vegas only last month.

Borrowing money from his parents and his college funds, last week Madsen put some of his $9,500 buy-in money to good use as he beat more than 1500 players to win over $600,000. This weekend, he did it again, beating seasoned pro, Erick Lindgren at a final table to pocket another $600,000+ pot
On the final hand, Madsen was holding a queen and nine. The flop gave him a pair of queens and he pushed all-in. Lindgren called, holding a suited ace and jack. The board showed king, queen, two, five and three, giving Madsen the winning pair, victory over 506 players and $643,381.

Whether he'll be the best player ever is too soon to tell, but his record so far in is making most pros sit up and take note.
