Title: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: redsimon on June 21, 2005, 03:30:35 PM Anyone know if "Bruce Corman, Nottingham" is a blondeite? He is still in this at the end of day 1 and I think cashed earlier in the WSOP this year. Don't recognise the name, just spotted his location though.
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 21, 2005, 04:02:59 PM Was wondering the same thing Simon, I don't know him, but he has cashed once already. Anyone know this guy? Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: redsimon on June 21, 2005, 04:07:59 PM Found this...
http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=4723 Doesn't look familiar! Nearly all his cashes are in USA too! ??? Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: TightEnd on June 21, 2005, 04:09:30 PM That would be Nottingham, Pennsylvannia.
Not exactly Beeston then. Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Karabiner on June 21, 2005, 04:14:18 PM No he is from this Nottingham.
I used to know his father, he was a golfing and poker buddy of mine about 25 years ago. He has (or had) a menswear factory in Hucknall. Cormans (strangely enough) He is a regular "poker tourist", makes several trips to the USA each year. Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: TightEnd on June 21, 2005, 04:15:21 PM does he play this side of the pond at all?
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Ironside on June 21, 2005, 04:15:49 PM then why has he gotten an american flag next to his name in THM database
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Karabiner on June 21, 2005, 04:17:26 PM It is possible that he sold the business and now resides in the US.
But I can assure you that he is from Nottingham, UK. Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Junior Senior on June 21, 2005, 04:25:49 PM he cashed 3 times in the wsop last year - i remember the name. Think he lives in USA (pronounced oossa!) - he is from Nottingham England - again another world class player from notts (although i don't think he has ever set foot inside the gala)

Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: redsimon on June 21, 2005, 04:40:33 PM then why has he gotten an american flag next to his name in THM database He has an english flag over his name, USA one next to the events he cashed. Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 21, 2005, 04:47:42 PM Trust Karabiner to know Bruce Corman's Dad. The man's a font of wisdom. Comes with age I hope. Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: redsimon on June 21, 2005, 04:54:07 PM Interesting article by robert HM. Got to love why Bruce doesn't feature much in Notts, hates late nights and smokey rooms (sorta sums up the GALA!).
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Karabiner on June 21, 2005, 04:55:54 PM I believe that he also prefers games where the house provides dealers.
;) Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 21, 2005, 04:57:12 PM Sigh.........The never ending battle continues....... Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Robert HM on June 21, 2005, 06:26:35 PM Interesting article by robert HM. Got to love why Bruce doesn't feature much in Notts, hates late nights and smokey rooms (sorta sums up the GALA!). Thanks but I just provided the link. Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 21, 2005, 06:46:26 PM Biill him for it, anyway. The ways of the legal profession, eh? Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Robert HM on June 21, 2005, 06:47:25 PM He's a red, he won't pay
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Robert HM on June 21, 2005, 07:20:06 PM Hmm just thought, uncalled for joke. Don't want to get into a footie flame war. Sorry Simon.
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: redsimon on June 21, 2005, 07:48:36 PM Hmm just thought, uncalled for joke. Don't want to get into a footie flame war. Sorry Simon. Actually I thought it was funny. Just glad I had put my cup of tea down though! ;D PS The way Forest have been run recently I wouldve probably paid twice the going rate :D Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Gamblor21 on June 21, 2005, 09:11:28 PM We have a geordie in the $5000 pot limit comp... Stevey Liu! steven could do really well in this one, he'll have alot of support out there and i just hopes he does well
brilliant result, think i'll ring him to wish him luck... his nic name is lucky liu tho! and he has the skills to win this one! two big results back to the north-east, we'll be challenging notts soon! the big guns have'nt fired yet! Ian... my mum was wondering where i got my nic name from???? Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Ironside on June 21, 2005, 09:15:27 PM are you out there ian?
if not when you going? and are you playing the blondepoker live update event on cryptologic ? Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Gamblor21 on June 21, 2005, 09:19:37 PM i'm back home at the moment, came back thursday...
think i'm going back out there on the 3rd of july, maybe before! when is the blonde event... details if you don't mind ironside? best bet of july lay everyone in wsop especially me... i'll go out guns blazing tho lol! Ian Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Ironside on June 21, 2005, 09:22:20 PM do you read blondepoker forum or just the live updates?
try this link for the details http://www.blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=607.0 Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Gamblor21 on June 21, 2005, 09:29:22 PM thanks ironside, i read it yeah... just thought i'd ask the tourney director for details!
i may play the comp but... strong field i may be better off heading to the casino for some easier action, tho that does'nt start til 8.45pm and i ashould be out by then, carrying tikays bounty with me! Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 21, 2005, 09:58:03 PM Hiya At-It,
Yeah, a big up to Lucky Liu, a stablemate of John CT Law from the North East. Liu has probably made more top ten finishes in the Stars Sunday night biggie than anyone, he's a most formidable opponent. And another guy who, if seen at a cash game, it's best to steer clear of. Very clear..... As for the North East challenging Fortress Notts, that's just plain daft. Keep a sense of perspective. Your Mum wants to know where you got your nickname from? Oops. You did not tell her I hope. I am in enough trouble already with Gryko's Mum for calling him the enfant terrible of British Poker. And I hear the Frogs are after my blood too, heaven knows why, I speak nothing but good of them. Dangerous job this, you know. Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Gamblor21 on June 21, 2005, 10:38:15 PM lol... no trouble, i just said it was an elderly chap who kept misreading my hands! my genuine nic-name is Ian'never-raise'Bradley
It went down a treat, a few more results at the wsop and i don't even think notts would want a match... lucky liu is dangerous in all forms, and loves to win! he was more nervous than john in johns final lol! telling me that john better pass or he's out! john called gracz's bluff with 63 i think stevey nearly fell off his chair. He would've rather have been playing! i have a good feeling about this one for the lucky 1! At-It... Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Gamblor21 on June 22, 2005, 02:44:23 AM lucky liu is still in, chip leader from what i understand... with about 20 left
two sites have different chip cpunts at the same time??? 75k on one, 135k on the other! Devilfish keeps doubling up aswell this could be a great final table! Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: ifm on June 22, 2005, 02:53:08 AM i found $168,200!!
I see Brian Wilson is still there, good luck!! Ian Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: ifm on June 22, 2005, 12:58:01 PM final table is today at 2pm us.
Stephen Lui and Brian Wilson still very strong. Cyndy Violette $206,000 Steven "Lucky" Liu $193,500 Brian Wilson $193,000 Joe Sebok $159,000 Allen Cunningham $131,500 Burt Boutin $116,000 Tony Cousineau $99,500 John Gale $64,500 Derek Laforte $36,500 Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Colchester Kev on June 22, 2005, 03:21:42 PM hi there ian AT IT simon nowab here posting from kev's acc i know you'll be interested how carlo
is getting on talked to him for about an hour he's feeling a bit down at the moment with all the bad luck at the moment but tried to encourage him that his form will change he agreed saying that he was glad i am here because in last five years he has outrdrawn me in every major comp we played together so as long as he can bust someone the lads going to be happy. You know cream always rise to the top so lets hope he gets a little rub of the green simon Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Gamblor21 on June 22, 2005, 05:39:50 PM cheers simon! wish steven good luck from me...
i'll buy the first jd's when i get out there on the 3rd, t-total from the 5th to prepare for main event! i'm trying to get grandad to come but he keeps saying he wants to play the big game and how can he take all the money he needs across. he lost 2000 on monday when i was playing omaha with him at teesside, not all to me tho as he's my grandad other people got him, i think it was the raising of every pot that did it... and reraising! think i'll get him to come over, then we will have a full north-east crew! just no james'the-mouth'Browning! i don't think it would be long before espn headed over to latifs table! Good luck to u and john, carlo will come good i mean with his new hair-cut how could he go wrong! hope u win before i come over... i was tempted to fly this week but i think i'd spend to much money! i've been back less than a week and i'm missing vegas already! Good luck all cya Ian At-It... Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Mrs C on June 22, 2005, 08:05:38 PM I'm afraid Bruce has gone now.
But we do have El Blondie's rookie doing rather well in equal second postion at the moment on the final table. We also have Lucky Steve Liu, John Gale, winner of the Bahamas Party Poker main event in Jan 2005, along with bracelet holders Cyndy Violette and Allen Cunningham. Dave's idea of good preperation for Brian to be playing his first big final last night at the dizzy heights of the Rio Voodo bar. [attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: ariston on June 22, 2005, 09:00:24 PM Quite sure pokerstars will be happy that John won the Partypoker event in January ;) I would like to wish stevey all the best for the final but I hope john does really well as I think he is a sound bloke. Many people underate him and say he was lucky to win in the Bahamas but I have sat with him on a few tables and he can play, he makes me look tight :o If he gets his dancing shoes on in the final there will be fireworks.
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 22, 2005, 11:46:48 PM Rhow has just been on the phone, she is gonna go & get some updates from the Fiinal for us. Told her she looks a treat in the pic. I miss her a lot, not seen her for abouit 3 weeks. Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 01:40:46 AM Rhow just sent this text......

Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 01:49:43 AM And another in from Rhow......remember, this is "as per text"...... "John Gale raises, Steve Reraises back up to 22k john rereraises 28k more, and steve calls. Flop is AJ5, Gale all-in for 52k, steve calls, then it is a 3 and a K. John Gale doubles up with AK, Steve had QJ...." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: ariston on June 23, 2005, 01:52:49 AM Stevey has been crippled but not finished by Gale there. Gale is up to almost 200k and lui down to around the 40 mark.
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 01:58:22 AM And another. Take a deep breath....... "Cyndy just got knocked out. She had A-3 clubs, against Cunningham who had Q-9 ad made trips.Q came on flop, then another on turn, Cyndy could only have won if a club came, two clubs on flop 4 and 6 were clubs with a red queen...." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 02:00:51 AM Rhow running up a big phone bill.... "Steve has 74k, Brian 512k, Derek 84k Allen 242k, John 192k, Tony 100k...."

Be nice to see John win it, but also for blondeite Brian, who is something of an el Blondie protege. Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: RED-DOG on June 23, 2005, 02:27:51 AM More from the lovely Rhow. Not as lovely as Foxy Minx, mind.

Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: ifm on June 23, 2005, 02:48:40 AM i guessed there was a typo there ;)
Welcome sir, nice to see your first post is to correct our esteemed leader ::) Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: BradWillis on June 23, 2005, 02:52:25 AM I'm a big fan of your esteemed leader. i think I owe him a pint or two.
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: ifm on June 23, 2005, 02:55:18 AM I guessed you might be familiar from your email addy, though i think i made a typo......i forgot the B ;D
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 08:36:19 AM Wow, Hi Brad, what a lovely surprise!
blondeites, I introduce to you a strange combination. An American who is a perfect Gent, and a great friend pf mine & blonde. BRAD OTIS WILLIS.... Brad is the official blogger for PokerStars - works for them these days, what a job eh?! We met in Copenhagen, & we worked together in Deauville, Vienna (I think) and Monte Carlo - the EPT's. Those overnight chip counts you got each night at the end of play - not easy when up to 100 guys return for Day Two - were jointly counted by Brad & me, then we would share the info. A top, top, bloke. Brad - I will see you in just over a week. I have a Media Pass - proper job, one for Grown-Ups - so if I can assist you in any way, you only have to say. Right back to work. I have about a dozen texts in from Rhow, so I had better start updating...... Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 08:46:24 AM More from Rhow......tis one is a bit disjointed, but persevere & it will all make sense....
"143k in before flop, Brian has A-9 and Derek is all-in with his AL (let's assume AJ), cards are T, Q, 3, K, 7. Derek doubles up....." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 08:48:20 AM "....Brian just doubled up Derek AGAIN. Brian had A-4, DErek TT, Brian put Derek all in after flop, which was 8-6-2, then came 7-3......" Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 08:48:55 AM And now for the screamer....
"...Brian just gave Derek another 18k...." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 08:50:15 AM "... Brian 390k, Cunningham 110k John Gale 390k Tony 75k At 7.15pm US time...." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 08:52:11 AM "....Gale makes it 17k, Brian calls, board checked all way, J-9-2-4-Q, Brian wins with his Jacks making trips, John had A high....." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 08:53:40 AM ".....Brian finally wins a small pot off Derek, making 2 pair on a board of A-T-4-K-K, he had Q-4...." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 08:55:26 AM "....Tony all-in against allen. Tony A-T, Allen K-T. Board is A-4-8-4-5. Allen wins with heart flush on River...." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 08:57:31 AM "...Chip count at half seven, Brian 390k Derek 230k Allen 206k John 382k. Derek wins another pot against Brian....." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 08:59:14 AM "...now there is a split pot between Brian and Derek, Brian did all the raising, with Derek calling, ...." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 09:00:01 AM "....John Gale now holds small chip lead after winning several pots....." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 09:02:07 AM "...John v brian, 18k into pot by each, A-6-2, ???? bets fifteen, Brian bets ????, John Passes, Brian takes pot..." Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 09:05:14 AM And THEN Rhow's texts stopped coming, pah!. BUT...... I can tell you that, eventually, John Gale finished a magnificent 2nd, but what about this....... Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 09:07:06 AM BRIAN WILSON WINS Brian is "WSOPin05" on blonde, and a regular poster on here, and a big buddy of Dave's. Congratulations Brian, thrilled to bits for you! So that means..... Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 09:08:54 AM Our first blondeite Bracelet. Whahoo!
More to come, I bet....... Big thanks to Rhow for all those texts. I am sorry I could not stay with it through the night, I was just wrecked. And now I feel bad about deserting my post. Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: owner on June 23, 2005, 09:22:51 AM WOW congrats Brian. He knew what he was doing when he picked that username then ;)
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 09:30:50 AM Good point! Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: redsimon on June 23, 2005, 09:32:45 AM Certainly makes up for losing that 20K to some low life. Lets hope Brian gets a safety deposit box! ;D
Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: ifm on June 23, 2005, 09:36:23 AM Absolutely awesome, chuffed to bits for him......excellent!!

[attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: ifm on June 23, 2005, 09:51:25 AM Just reading thru it, John had Brian dominated for a while (at one point 1,000,000 to 200,000 chips), and had him allin twice.
Once with AJ against 6's, John hit the jack and Brian hit a 5 on river for a str8. Once with 10's against 4's, 4 on the flop. So i would say John could be a little disappointed not to have won this, still the Brits are arriving in droves and it's just a matter of time!! Ian Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 09:54:13 AM And on top of all that lolly, and the Bracelet, he gets Rhow as well. Who's a lucky boy? [attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: Ironside on June 23, 2005, 01:49:37 PM that final pic alone more than makes up for losing $20k
congrats brian Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: wsopin05 on June 23, 2005, 11:34:58 PM Thanks to everyone, John is a very special guy, I cant wait to take him to dinner when I visit London in August. I wish John all the best and I know that we were the 2 best players during the final table.
I did get very lucky w/ the back to back hands, you must have some luck to win This is a very crazy thing, I still don't understand the entire level of what has happened. Thanks to DC for putting up w/ me over the last year, I know he will get his this year also, I hope to meet everyone when I come over for the Paris WPT and the event in London. Thanks again for all the kind words and support ;D Brian Wilson WSOP PLH 2005 WORLD CHAMPION Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: tikay on June 23, 2005, 11:41:34 PM Bring that Bracelet!

Title: Re: $5000 PLHE @ WSOP Post by: The Baron on June 25, 2005, 11:54:42 PM Was out for a few with Brian and DC last night. What a top guy - couldn't have happened to a nicer fella! Well done Brian.
