Mike Sexton is a commentator on the World Poker Tour and is recognized as one of the sport’s greatest ambassadors.
In 1989, Sexton won his first, and only, bracelet in Seven-card Stud Hi/Lo at the World Series of Poker. In 2000, Sexton won the European Hold’em Championship at the Aviation Club in Paris, France where he won over $1 million Francs. He also finished in 12th place in the WSOP main event that same year. He missed the final table by only a few spots. At the 2002 WSOP, Sexton missed winning his second bracelet when he finished in second place in the Seniors’ NL event. In 2003, he returned to the Aviation Club in Paris and won the European Heads-Up Championship. In 2005, Sexton played at the Australian Poker Championships at the Crown Casino in Melbourne. He cashed three times and made two final tables. He won the Pot-Limit/No Limit Speed Poker Championship after he beat out Scotty Nguyen. In 2000, PartyPoker contracted Sexton to become its spokesperson and consultant. He was the creator of the Party Poker Million cruise, which is the largest Limit Hold’em tournament in the world. In 2002, he teamed up with good friend Linda Johnson to do some announcing in a new project that she was working on. That project ended up becoming the World Poker Tour, which has become one of the most popular poker programs on television.
Sexton has been a columnist at Card Player Magazine for several years and he recently finished a book called “World Poker Tour: Shuffle Up and Deal.” This year he was selected to become the 38th member of the Poker Hall of Fame.
