Kamiel Cornelissen (born 14 December 1980) At the next event, in Los Angeles, Cornelissen defeated Jon Finkel in the elmination rounds for a second time, before losing the finals to Mike Pustilnik. To finish out the 2000-01 season, he made the top four of the team Grand Prix in Turin, with Jelger Wiegersma and Tom van de Logt as his teammates.
2001-02 and 2002-03 were, by comparison, much weaker seasons for Cornelissen. His only notable finishes were a win at Grand Prix Heidelberg in 2001, and a runner-up at Grand Prix Amsterdam with Jon Finkel and Eric Froehlich in 2003.
In 2003-04 Cornelissen returned to prominence. When the Pro Tour came to his home country, he made his third Pro Tour top eight. He finished fifth at Pro Tour Amsterdam, losing the quarterfinals to Osamu Fujita. Six months later, Conrelissen would make the elimination rounds a fourth time. As a member of Von Dutch, he won Pro Tour Seattle, defeating Jin Okomoto, Tsuyoshi Ikeda, and Itaru Ishida in the finals. At the next Pro Tour event, the World Championship in San Francisco, Cornelissen made his fifth Pro Tour top eight and third that season. A quarterfinal loss to Manuel Bevand would see him finish fifth.
Over the years that followed, Cornelissen continued to perform well, but not with the same high degree of success. In 2005, he made two more Grand Prix top eights in Eindhoven, and Malmö. In 2006, he attracted some attention again when he won both the Dutch national championship, and the team competition at the World Championship in Paris. Two years later, he won Grand Prix Brussels.
More than nine years after his previous Pro Tour top 8, and several years after he quit regular Pro Tour play, Cornelissen made his sixth top 8 at , losing in the quarterfinals to eventual champion Jeremy Dezani.
