Event 8 (Flight 1C): Luminita Looking For A Repeat Performance

"Battles At The Beach"

Event 8 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $200,000 GTD)

Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/25)

Total Flight 1C Entries: 105

Luminita Petric (West Palm Beach, FL)

This same event was run just over a month ago, during the 2017 Isle Poker Classic, and drew a field of (583) entries.  Now we are looking at a different animal this series, as we may eclipse that number by the time tonight's Flight 1D has concluded.  With that in mind, Luminita Petric (West Palm Beach, FL) would likely sign up right now for the same run she made in that earlier event.  Petric was part of a six-way deal that was agreed upon to end the tournament, with Petric earning sixth place money ($16,646), the largest cash of her career.  Since that night (January 6th), Petric has cashed in three high profile events, including two final tables:

Luminita has already bested her career earnings in 2017 alone, and is looking to make this a true "breakout" year.  Petric tops the list of late entries to join the field since just before break:
