 For the second time in a month, a P5er has won both the Monday and Tuesday "Oyster" tournaments on Paradise Poker. Last time it was Tmay420, and this time it was Sean "BrooDogg" Bruder, a talented player that's many weeks been ranked in the P5s Tournament Player Rankings.
Sean plays the Oyster tournament, a nightly $100 rebuy on Paradise, about three times a week. "Probably more now, though," he told me. "$100 rebuys have always been intimidating to me until the last few months. I was in a slump for a while until around May this year, until I met PokerJoe9, and he's dramatically fine-tuned my game." They've been discussing hands quite a bit, and the results are showing.
Winning the Oyster tournament in consecutive days is not an easy accomplishment, and very few players have pulled it off since the tournament started running in May 2006. Being a $100 rebuy with a $40k guarantee, it attracts many of the net's top players every day--when you beat this field, you're not beating a bunch of fish.
BrooDogg's other recent accomplishments include a fourth place finish this past Sunday in the Full Tilt $250k.
About Adam
I was one of the original P5ers... Before this site existed, my friends Cal, Riley, and I were poker enthusiasts/railbirds who played primarily low stakes cash games and tournaments. We were all fresh off graduating from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, loved poker, and wanted to become a part of the poker world.
For years I managed the rankings system on this site and all of the content you would see on the front page. I now am mostly removed from the day-to-day operations of the site and am primarily focused on our company's rakeback business (including the rakeback section of PocketFives). I still take a very active interest in the site, and you'll often see me responding to threads in the forums on topics ranging from how to play AK out of position to what I think is the next legislative step regarding online poker in the US.
I live in Escazu, Costa Rica about 5 minutes from our company's office. I primarily play live poker now, but you can still occasionally find me at the online tables, primarily as cassowv on Full Tilt or AdamP5s on Bodog. If you see me around the forums or at the tables, be sure to say hi and tell me how I played my hand wrong ;)
