The WSOP’s youngest ever bracelet winner notched up his second victory over the weekend.

Jeff Madsen, just 21-years-of-age, won first prize at the $5,000 Short Handed No-Limit Hold’Em tournament on Saturday at the Amazon Room, reports PokerNews.com.

The young star, who scooped $643,381 for the victory, beat off final table competition from Tony Woods, Brits Jonathan Gaskell and Paul Foltyon, “Captain” Tom Franklin and Erick Lindgren.

Madsen started the final table seriously short-stacked at just $201,000, with chip leader Gaskell holding $727,000, but finished Lindgren off in the final heads up confrontation.

Madsen has now made three final tables this year, amassing some $1.4 million, putting him top of the table in the 2006 WSOP Player of the Year rankings.

Poker fans can now look forward to the $10,000 championship event set to get underway this weekend.
