At Least $1,000,000 In Prizes To Be Won As $11 Flip & Go Millionaire Returns On November 11
Published October 17, 2023

Flip stages run hourly from November 1, with buy-in set at $11
GGPoker today announces the 2nd iteration of $11 Flip & Go Millionaire, a special tournament with at least $1,000,000 in cash prizes to be won. As in 2022, the Flip Stages run hourly from November 1, with the Go (In The Money) Stage hosted on November 11.
Players can qualify for pennies, with $11 Flip & Go Millionaire satellites starting from just $0.11.
In a Flip & Go tournament, players select their preferred buy-in multiplier when registering for the event. The higher the multiplier, the larger the starting chip stack in the Flip Stage; for example, a player that selects a x4 multiplier and buys in for $44, will start with four times the usual starting stack.
When the action begins, players are dealt three cards and must discard one, before the community cards are dealt and the hand resolved. Each table plays down to a winner in a matter of moments, who then proceeds to the Go Stage and is now guaranteed a cash prize.
The Go Stage plays out as a standard No Limit Hold’em tournament.
“I’m delighted to confirm the return of Flip & Go Millionaire, an event our players really enjoyed in 2022,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker. “This tournament has it all; a huge prize pool, low buy-ins, and with Flip Stages running on the hour from November 1, it’s convenient for all players. With at least $1,000,000 to be won, expect eleven days of high excitement before a winner emerges on November 11!”
New GGPoker players can also claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn even more rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, with regular cash prizes on offer.
