Cornell goes by three variations on the same username. He’s known as “thebrain” or “brainwash” as well as “brainwasher” depending on which poker site he’s playing at the time. His online MTT cashes are quite lucrative, with a few recent cashes of note that include a third-place finish in the Sunday brawl for $49K. He also had a second-place finish in the $109 re-buy for another 38K. As well, he had a fourth-place finish in the $250 buy-in Mini FTOPS for another $31K. All those posts came in the month of September.
That recent success isn’t anything new for Cornell. In March '08, he won the $1k Monday tournament for $98,750. This was just after winning the $100 Re-buy $65k Guaranteed for $26k in late 2007. He continued his online tournament success in August '08, with a victory in the FTOPS $100 Pot Limit Omaha re-buy event for $95,500 and a win in the $100 Cubed *1r+1a* for another $21k - just to name a few of the big ones he’s posted over the years.
Cornell has been hitting any live casino that will let him enter the poker room, and so far he’s managed to cash over 50K. The young reclusive player has a list of live tournament cashes, including 20K + cashes at the Aussie Millions and the WPT Shooting Star. He currently sits in 14th place on the pocketfives.com leaderboard list and is only one big cash away from cracking the top ten of online MTT players.
