Mike Sexton
The Ambassador of Poker

Often called "The Ambassador of Poker," Mike Sexton is probably the most visible personality on the poker scene. Well known to many as the public face of Party Poker, he has achieved even broader fame as the co-host of the internationally televised World Poker Tour. With Vince Van Patten as his partner, Mike delivers insightful blow-by-blow coverage of the final six players battling for the first place prize pool of over $1 Million at each WPT stop around the world. Although he doesn't see the competitors' hole cards as they're actually playing at the WPT final table, Mike sees them during the editing and recording sessions at the studio where the "television" hands are chosen and narrated. This exclusive behind-the-scenes view and his depth of playing experience give Mike a special look at the hidden secrets to winning a big tournament in today's competitive environment, and bring his unique insight into the strategies of the top players to life in his commentary.
