partypoker Sunday LIVE

It was a smaller Sunday today with the $60,000 guaranteed The Gladiator as the biggest event of the day. That one saw almost 1,700 entries in total, enough to crush the guarantee, but it was a successful Sunday across the featured events.

PokerNews also featured four events with $50,000 guaranteed, The One Shot, The Weekender, The Sunday 500 and The 300. They all blew past their guarantees in the end with solid turnouts.

It took about eight hours for "SeuCoudet" to take down the big prize. There was $5,212 in prizes for first, but they picked up more than $4,700 more in bounties through the game.
