Mike "MeleaB" Brooks was recently eliminated from the WCOOP Main Event. You may recall, PokerNews did an interview with Brooks awhile back on Black Friday, namely that he was on of the first (if not the first) players to move out of the country in order to continue playing online poker. Here is a quick piece from that article, but you can read the entire thing simply by clicking here.
"Mike "MeleaB" Brooks moved to the U.S. in 2000 on a teaching program, with nary a thought about online poker; however, like many Brits, he did know a bit about online sports betting. While playing on Betfair, he discovered poker in 2003, and by March of 2006, Brooks had taken up the game full time. While he played primarily on Full Tilt Poker, he made the switch to PokerStars in 2008 and reached SNE status shortly thereafter. When the events of Black Friday happened, Brooks was living in North Carolina, and within a week, he had uprooted his family and headed back to England, quite possibly making him the first online pro to do so."
