The Gladiator Busts Guarantee Before First Break

If there was ever a worry that the Euro 2020 final would cut into the action on Sunday, The Gladiator is proving it wrong. Before the first break has even begun, there are more than 1,250 entries recorded for the $55 event, meaning the prize pool is now at more than $62,000 and growing. There are still more than 30 minutes of late registration left, so that prize pool will only get bigger.

The Sunday 500 is also doing well so far today. While that game hasn't quite hit its guarantee yet, 86 entries already means they've collected more than $43,000 of the $50,000 guarantee already, with more than an hour left in late registration.

Coming up at the top of the hour will be the other three games we are following today on Sunday LIVE. The Final Day of the Weekender starts with 37 players left and more than $5,700 up top for the winner. The One Shot and The 300 also get cards in the air at the top of the hour, so stay tuned through the day for updates on the action.
