Welcome to PokerNews coverage of Event #24: $1,000 FLIP & GO No-Limit Hold'em Presented by GGPoker. Last year DJ Alexander won his first WSOP bracelet in the very first FLIP & GO event, taking home $180,665 in prize money.
Players have spent today playing out single-table flips in what was the first stage of this event. Each player received three cards and discarded one after the flop. The turn and river were dealt and the winner then qualified for the GO portion of the tournament, as well as automatically being in the money.
