Mike Sexton
| It is no exaggeration to say that Mike Sexton is one of poker's finest ambassadors to the world. For years, he dreamt corporate endorsements and sponsorships of poker tournaments could work as a means of introducing poker into the mainstream, a hobby to be enjoyed by everybody. He discussed his ideas with anybody who would listen, and the success of the World Poker Tour can largely be chalked up to his credit. Mike is known as a hard-working ideas man with a passion for what he does. As chief commentator on the televised World Poker Tour series, he has become "the face of poker" to the greater public. He seems to posses an ingrained talent for on-air commentary; with no prior broadcasting experience, he has distinguished himself by being able to discuss and explain poker in a manner that non-players understand and that pros can appreciate and learn from. He is also famous for having coined an oft-repeated phrase regarding No-Limit Hold'em: "It takes five minutes to learn but a lifetime to master." |
