The team over at GGPoker aren't resting on their laurels after the success of the Dan Bilzerian's Battle Royale as they make some changes to their popular Flip & Go format.
Each Flip & Go now comes separate 'Flip Stages' that run at intervals every hour. These then feed into the 'Go Stage' where all players are in the money and playing for the win!
"The launch of this new Multi-Phase format makes Flip & Go's even more exciting," said Paul Burke, Head of PR at GGPoker. "Play up to eight Flip Stages and take all the chips you survive with into the Go Stage, where every player is in the money!"
The dates for the 2021 WSOP Online have been released, with 33 WSOP bracelets up for grabs on GGPoker alone.
How do Flip & Go Renewal Tournaments Work?
There are eight Flip Stages every hour. These take place on the hour, as well as at 10, 20, 30, 40, 45, 50 and 55 minutes past the hour. The Go Stage takes place on the hour, although the start time may be delayed if the final Flip Stage does not conclude within five minutes.
Stage 1: Select Your Buy-In
There are five different buy-ins to choose from ranging from $0.05 to $20.
| Buy-in | Guarantee |
|---|---|
| $20 | $5,000-$6,000 |
| $3 | $1,500-$3,000 |
| $0.50 | $500-$1,000 |
| $0.05 | $100-$200 |

Stage 2: Flip Stage
Once you've selected your buy-in, choose from one of eight Flip Stages each round. Increase the number of chips you start with by selecting up to five buy-ins!
You then play the flipout, choosing one of your three hole cards to discard pre-flop, receiving a bonus to your starting stack if your starting three cards are any of the following:
| Hands | Cards (e.g.) | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Straight Flush | j♦️ | 4x Starting Stack |
| Three of a Kind | 8♣️ | 3x Starting Stack |
| Flush | k♠️5♠️4♠️ | 2x Starting Stack |
| Straight | 8♣️9♦️10♠️ | 2x Starting Stack |
Choose one card to discard, and watch as the entire board runs out in front of you! Don't worry if you don't win, you can play as many Flip Stages as you like to lock up your place in the Go Stage, or even play multiples to increase your starting chips in the regular tournament stage.

Stage 3: Go Stage
If you make it through any one of the eight Flip Stages you'll make it to the Go Stage. This starts every hour and plays like a regular No-Limit Hold'em tournament.
