The first-ever Event #20: $1,000 FLIP and GO No-Limit Hold'em Day 1 has come to a conclusion. This event had a total of 155 players advance from their original $1,000 buy-in tables. Each player who made Day 1 had to win a flip against their entire table and were guaranteed a payout of $2,000 once they made it.
Three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner David Peters has managed to find a bag and will head to Day 2 with 1,105,000 in chips. Leading the pack is Huy Lam with an impressive lead of 3,150,000. Following Lam are Corey Bierria (1,880,000), and in third-place is Krista Farrell (1,700,000).

Not all were lucky enough to find a bag at the end of the day, however, as luminaries such as Daniel Negreanu, Shaun Deeb, Gal Yifrach, and Kevin Eyster ran deep but fell short in the end.
Play will resume at 1:00 p.m. in level 13 with blinds at 20,000/40,000 and a 40,000 big blind ante. Be sure to follow PokerNews all day for the exciting action of this special GGPoker event!
