ANZPT Adelaide: Broom starts to clear a space

In the last few levels here in Adelaide, James Broom has begun to put his mark on the leader board, thinning the field in his process.
Springing from relative obscurity Broom produced some good results in 2006 and 2007 at CROWN casino. It was at the Melbourne championships in May last year that he kicked the big goal taking first place in the $1,100 main event pocketing $134,602 for the win. He followed up with a ninth placing in the PokerNews Cup main event in October the same year.

On day one of the ANZPT main event he's amassed a handy stack of 185,000 with the nearest competitor being local youngster James Obst on 92,000. Obst has spent the day busting opponents, including a 48K swoop on Rose Pesce sitting to his immediate right.
