Mel Judah is an Australian professional poker player, also known as "The Silver Fox" (a nickname he shares with fellow poker player Peter Costa). He learned poker at the age of 14 by watching his father play 5-card draw. He has had several noticeable finishes in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) and the World Poker Tour (WPT). He won World Series bracelets in 1989 and 1997 for the $1,500 and $5,000 Seven Card Stud events. He also claimed the 2003 Legends of Poker title on the World Poker Tour, winning $579,375. He was also at the final table of the 1997 World Series of Poker main event, won by Stu Ungar, eventually coming in third place. He qualified for the final table of the 2006 Poker Million, finishing in fourth place. In recollection of the respect Judah had generated within the game, he was asked to direct the new European Poker Masters tour in September 2006, Europe's first ever independent poker tour that was produced by the team behind The Poker Channel. Judah worked as a hairdresser for several years, which he believes has allowed him to understand players' psychology better. He now lives in London, England.
