"January $100,000 II" (Flight 1C): Couples That Play Together...Stay Together

"January $100,000 II"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 5 (Blinds 150/300/50)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 56


Sonya Bubulka (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) may not have the same tournament experience that others do in the field, but she has one of the better teachers that any poker player could ask for.

The $2,500 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante ($100,000 GTD) is underway, with action now spread across two tables (13 total entries in Level 1).  One of those entries is Brian Hastings (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), a well known poker pro with over $2,600,000 in live tournament earnings (and countless more online).  Not as well known is his fiancĂ©, Sonya Bubulka (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), who just jumped in the Flight 1C field.

We've seen Sonya watching Brian at final tables in the past, but this is the first we are seeing her in action.  She does have one recorded tournament result on Hendon Mob, coming back in 2015, during the WSOP Europe ($550 No Limit Hold'em).  This opening flight ends just after registration closes for the $2,500 Single-Ante, so Bubulka hopes to bag up some chips for Sunday, and then watch her fiancĂ© ship himself a tournament.  Sonya headlines our second group of notables in the Flight 1C field, including the likes of:

Craig Witz
Joseph Mancuso
Dale Smith
Edward Novak
Oneil McCalla
Zaki Lichaa
