Seat 3: 551,000

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.

Our chip leader going into the final table is David Gorr from Melbourne, Australia. Gorr, or as some call him 'Googie', has a wife and two kids and works as a computer analyst when he's not playing poker; his favorite hobby. Goor's been playing poker for half a century and won his way into the PokerNews Cup Main Event via a satellite.

Although he has been playing for quite some time now, Gorr still considers himself an amateur player. He has multiple cashes in events that include the Aussie Millions, Victorian Poker Championships, Melbourne Poker Championships, and Australian Poker Championship. Goor says his greatest poker accomplish is becoming the Australian Poker Champion back in 1996.

Gorr doesn't know exactly how he would spend the cash if he comes out on top today, but he does know that it will be the biggest cash of his long poker career.

He's begins play with the most chips - 1,616,000.
