At the beginning of September, the poker world learned that Mike Sexton, one of the game’s greatest ambassadors, had been battling prostate cancer that had spread to other organs. As a result, the Poker Hall of Famer began in-home hospice a month earlier. He passed away on Sunday.
[GOODBYE MIKE]
Yesterday missed Mike Sexton, the ambassador of poker par excellence, the one who brought WPT to the screens and let the general public know names such as Negreanu, Ivey, Gus Hansen, Esfandiari and who knows how many others.
My poker life owes so much to Mile because with the WPT I started the plays on Poker Italia 24, translating his interviews to the champions.
I had the honor of finding him at the table at the WSOP in Las Vegas, a gentleman with a smile on his lips, always.
Safe travels Mike

R.I.P Mike Sexton, when the chips were down he could always raise a smile. He went All In to make people happy and now we cry a river at his passing.
Rest easy good sir.

R.I.P. Mike Sexton, he was the first commentator voice I heard in Poker back in the days with Vince I think.always loved his commentary and he also always looked like a very decent, modest and very nice guy, when he was sitting at the table playing Poker instead of commenting it
