GGPoker’s Flip & Go Millionaire Returns Bigger and Better Than Before
GGPoker is bringing back its $1 million guaranteed Flip & Go event this November with even more ways to qualify for less than a dollar.
Flip & Go Millionaire made its debut last year and was an immediate success. Over 20,000 players entered the $11 online poker tournament, with many of them exercising their right to multiple buy-ins. The final number of entries topped 100,000, which meant GGPoker wasn’t forced to pay an overlay.
A German who plays under the screen name ‘ifhedieshedies’ managed to make it through the melee and win $54,929. The winner of this year’s Flip & Go Millionaire could bank even more as GGPoker will be running satellites starting at $0.11 from now until November 10.
Two Stages, $1 Million to Play For
The $1 million guaranteed tournament is split into two stages. The first is a straight Flip & Go. Players can qualify or buy in for $11. They’ll be seated at a table and receive three cards. One card must be discarded before everyone’s hand gets turned over and community cards are dealt.
The winner of the hand progresses to the second stage of the tournament, aka the Go Stage. The Go Stage starts on November 11 and plays out like a regular Texas No Limit Hold’em tournament. Each player carries over their stack from the flip stage and the action continues until one remains.
Anyone who makes it to the Go Stage wins a cash prize, but getting there is a matter of fate. Every hand in the Flip Stage is an all-in showdown. The only way of not being eliminated in a single hand is to pay for multiple stacks.
Everyone who qualifies or buys in for the standard $11 gets the baseline starting stack. However, GGPoker is giving players the opportunity to pay for extra stacks. For example, if you pay $33, you’ll receive 3X the standard starting stack.
Anyone who does this when other players at the table have smaller starting stacks will at least survive the first all-in. However, fate eventually takes over and the cards will continue flowing until one player remains. That player gets through the Go Stage where the lion’s share of $1 million is up for grabs.
Flip & Go Fever Grips Poker Community
Flip & Go tournaments have gained in popularity ever since the WSOP joined forces with GGPoker to make them a part of its summer schedule. This, combined with the fact pros don’t have an edge at the start of play, makes Flip & Go Millionaire ideal for online poker novices. Indeed, because everyone gets a cash prize if they make it through a flip, it’s an easy way to win if luck is on your side.
“I’m delighted to confirm the return of Flip & Go Millionaire, an event our players really enjoyed in 2022. This tournament has it all; a huge prize pool, low buy-ins, and it’s convenient for all players. With at least $1,000,000 to be won, expect eleven days of high excitement,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker.
Flip qualifiers will run every hour from November 1 to 10. That means you’ll have 240 Flip Stages to enter before play switches on November 11.
