The World Series of Poker is know for creating superstars in the world of poker, and the 2006 WSOP is no exception. This year's WSOP thrown 21 year old Jeff Madsen hign into the spotlight.

Madsen became the youngest player ever to win a bracelet. He didn't just win a bracelet, however, he won two - and made it to 4 final tables in three different games.

Riding his recens success, Madsen has signed up as a pro with Full Tilt Poker, as well as being picked up by Poker Royalty, the talent agency that represents great poker players, such as Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu.

Not to be left out, late-night talk shows are clammoring to have the young poker player grace their stages. Jay Leno and David Letterman have invited Jeff Madsen to make appearances on their popular shows.
