Broom Gets No Reaction

James Broom can be an intimidating presence on the poker table but Xiaoyu Xu wasn't fazed as Broom stared him down on the turn after Xu had bet 5,000 on a board of {3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Broom leaned in closer and closer to Xu who was seated next to him to try and get a reaction, but Xu kept his eyes low, as Broom eventually gave it up.

Broom won the Main Event of the Melbourne Championships at Crown Casino in May, but is struggling to amass a big stack today as he sits with only around 14,000 chips.
