James Broom has been a part of the poker scene in Australia for a few years now, with several small cashes in local Championships, as well as at the 2007 Aussie Millions. However, James rose to prominence in May this year when he took down the Main Event of the 2008 Melbourne Poker Championships, collecting over $130,000.
This title earned him the PokerNetwork.com Player of the Month for May and cemented his place in Australian poker history.
James is a regular online player at PokerStars and an intimidating presence at the table, but he has some work to do this afternoon as he starts the day as one of our short stacks.
