Default RIP Mike Sexton

For those in the poker world, Mike Sexton passed away a few hours ago. A true gentleman, a legendary player and a Hall of Famer. This man will be truly missed.

RIP Mike
Time to Shuffle up & deal

I remember watching World Poker Tour and hearing Mike’s commentary all the time back when it was huge. RIP.

Had no idea he was sick, he was always a class act.

Heard he was sick, was hoping he'd pull through. Seemed like a really nice guy, have watched tons of WTP shows over the years with him and Vince, was cool to see him win the tourney in Montreal a few years ago. RIP.

There was a thread on 2+2 about him being in a hospice, so knew this was coming. RIP. He was part of my initial introduction to poker and an iconic representative of the game. 2020 continues to deliver.
