If you’re ready to jump straight into the high-stakes rounds, read on for all the details on how this year’s tournament format works and what makes it such a draw.
A Format for All Players
Now in its third year, Flip & Go Millionaire has become a signature event in the GGPoker calendar. The series combines elements of luck and poker skill in a fast-paced format that has resonated with new and seasoned players alike. By eliminating the early rounds, players get a chance to experience the excitement of being “in the money” far sooner than in traditional tournaments.
Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker, commented on the enduring popularity of the format:
“Flip & Go Millionaire has quickly become a favorite event in the GGPoker calendar. The beauty of this format is that it offers the perfect mix of luck and skill, allowing everyone a shot at life-changing money in no time at all. The fact that we’re hosting it for the third year in a row speaks volumes about how much our players love it.”
The Format: Flip Stage and Go Stage
The Flip & Go Millionaire tournament keeps things simple with its two-stage format:
- Flip Stage: After registration closes, each player goes all-in immediately. Players are dealt three hole cards and discard one before the hand is played out. If you win the flip, you move on to the next stage. This fast-track approach lets players bypass the grind of early rounds and jump straight into the money.
- Go Stage: Those who make it past the Flip Stage proceed to the Go Stage, where they’re already “in the money.” This stage follows a standard No-Limit Hold’em format, with players battling it out until a winner is crowned.
With hourly Flip Stages available daily until November 11th, GGPoker is giving players ample chances to secure their spot in the Go Stage. The main Go Stage showdown will take place at 19:00 UTC on November 11th, allowing finalists to compete for their share of the $1,000,000 prize pool.
Affordable Qualifiers for All
For players looking to join the action without committing the full $11 buy-in, GGPoker offers qualifiers starting as low as $0.11.
This accessibility has helped Flip & Go Millionaire gain popularity across a diverse range of players, making it an inclusive event that everyone on the platform can participate in.
