Jeff Madsen, Full Tilt Pro

Jeff Madsen has recently signed an endorsement deal with Full Tilt Poker, bringing their full stable of pros up to a massive 62.

Jeff is the youngest member of the Full Tilt pros, adding to his achievement of being the youngest WSOP* bracelet winner ever. Born on the 7th June 1985, Jeff is still only 21.

Hopefully if Jeff gets the time between all his live poker activities we will see him at some of the Full Tilt tables.

Bay 101 Shooting Stars

Jeff Madsen was running great in the Shooting Stars in San Jose. He was chip leading at one point and looked good for another top 3 finish in a major event

However is wasnt to be as Amir Shayesteh caught a flush to send Jeff to the rail.

Amir Shayesteh was on the button. He raised and Jeff moved all in for about 300k. Shayesteh thought for a moment before calling, probably thinking that Madsen was making a play, defending his blinds.

Jeff Madsen flipped over Ad 10d
Amir Shayesteh flipped over Ac 6c

Jeff had him well and truely dominated, but the board came As Qc 4c 5c 10s. Giving Amir the nut flush on the turn.

Jeff Madsen was therefore sadly eliminated in 8th place, winning $100,000 for his troubles.
