Once sat at a bar with a friend. Mike Sexton was sitting next to the table. My friend got off and went to the car. When he came back, he called me "Mike" from a few yards away. Sexton would rise his hand and wave to him.
His voice brings me back to times playing hold em with friends and family with wpt playing in the background. Some of those at the table are now gone. I wonder if theyre playin with Mike at a table upstairs
Mike had more of an impact on the game of poker than nearly all others. His clear, concise and educated commentary is what made me interested in the game. I used to listen to him commentating to go to sleep because he had such a soothing voice and knew the game better than most. Can't even say how many times I've almost been to sleep only to hear Mike get excited and start telling the world exactly what would happen before it happened and make me wide-eyed staring at the TV learning from the best. The man is a legend and he will be missed greatly by many. Most of what I've learned I've learned from Mike. There's no doubt he is up there somewhere teaching someone how to play the game he loved. Rest in peace, Mike. I hope we can carry on with the vision you had for the game and make you proud.
Poker wouldn't have reached the heights it did without Mike Sexton. Let's remember that although Moneymaker was certainly the peak of the poker boom, the WPT really got it rolling when it started in 2002, a year before Moneymaker. If the WPT was poorly presented, it would have halted poker in its tracks before it got started, but Sexton was all-class, likeable and had a trustworthy character; introducing millions to the beautiful game of poker. RIP Mike Sexton.

@@Bella-hs2ew nope it's monsters.. lol ..may all your cards be live and pots be monsters ..forsure have played with him a ton and sat beside him whilst he announced it a whole lot lololol..don't correct people when u don't know ..
It is hard to watch poker without him...he brought the game to life for me. He was a gentle and joyous being and I feel lucky to have watched his commentating when he was alive. Never met him but I will miss him.
I was 15 in 2003 when I discovered the WPT on Sky TV. The first voice I heard for anything poker related was Mike Sexton. It was his, and Vince Van Patten's voices and viewer friendly commentary that made me fall in love with the game. They don't condescend new players to the game and explained everything in such a way that you felt like you were part pf the action. Mike was simply captivating. I never met him, but you read so many warm stories where he was happy to give his time to talk to people and take photos etc. He was not just an ambassador of the poker world, but to all of human kind. You'll be missed by all Mike.
@@barneyboy8156 he meant it literally, and figuratively. Did you watch the video? He was a dancer. Sidenote* anyone who abbreviates trying to curse at someone is straight PUSSY!
I was a sophomore in college, 2003 when the poker boom hit. Watched pretty much every episode of the WPT back then. Mike you were THE Ambassador of Poker. Thank you for your classy, insightful, sometimes hilarious broadcasts. RIP Mike Sexton.
RIP sexton... this is the finest game any man could have hoped to played....with the toughest players in the world. What a piece of great history bravo guys
Oh mike sexton. My bad. Sexton is the father of modern poker. Evey poker player should have to go to poker history class. Mile sexton would have an entire semester dedicated to him.
@@beerme8949 everyone of them was a character who had a crazy life story to get to be a pro poker player before the boom. Now it is just a bunch of nerdy virgins...
Feels like yesterday doesn't it? Time flies. The poker world feels empty without Mike. The man taught me more than most ever has and didn't even know the impact he had on so many lives.
If I recall, Amarillo Slim just revived the Super Bowl of Poker in Heaven and all three of those guys were among the nine that made the first main event final table.
The hand at 56:40 never gets old & is an all time fave, one of the greatest calls ever in such a prestigious game, and made by a true OG legend. It also happens to be one of the most entertaining & funniest too.
Thank you, Mike, for giving us all a chance to make money doing what we love. Class personified, never a brat. Perfect ambassador for the game. Godspeed, and we'll all miss you on the rail.
I met mike sexton in Montreal a few years back. We went to a bar one night for wpt promo and engaged in a lengthy conversation with him. Everything people said in the tribute was true. He treated me great even though I was a complete stranger. I asked him to tell me Stu Ungar stories. It went like this; he says stuey one day made a bet with billy Baxter (i think) that he could take a random deck of cards and flip over each card at a regular pace and when there was 1 card left he would be able to say which card it was. They bet 10,000 and stuey starts turning the cards over one by one until there’s 1 left. Then he says “it’s the 8 of clubs” and turns over the last card and it was indeed the 8 of clubs. Billy Baxter couldn’t believe it but stuey later told Mike he had a way to figure out what the last card would be (I can’t recall the method used but mike explained it to me). Anyways it was a great night and mike sexton is a Legend
sharkuss, he only did what any decent person would do, and don't forget he was a stranger to you, and as for what stuey did, its a well known magicians trick
@@portorico2319 call it what you wanna call it, that still takes a sharp mind to do it at the speed Stu did it at, and the story only adds to the mystique of Stu Ungar
In a world full of nonsense and deceit, Mike Sexton's old-school integrity and character is greatly sought after and missed greatly. RIP Mike Sexton. He had a heart of gold and and a reputation to match. Big shoutout to Boslok too, slaving away as a taxi driver and scooping 4th in a really tough field was also a class act. IDK how many times i watched this one but it really was a great experience every time, no nits tanking, or bad editing.
I was in Vegas once on break from a tournament and walked out of the bathroom and bang, Sexton was right in front of me, and i said"Hey Mike" and without word he tapped my shoulder and said "gl this series Sir" and i said thanks. Yep i was star struck
Sat through this for the second time just to see Mike Sexton win it again. Guy was nothing but class. No tanking, no equations, just playing the game. Dude is definitely missed!!!
I have seen as Mike Sexton have donated... Big man and very good poker player, I don't know who of new generation poker would be donate half of they win :( RIP Mike Sexton and all helps from France for his family :(
Mike seemed like one of the nicest guys ever and I am truly saddened to hear this news. Mike, RIP, and know that you have touched a lot of people without ever meeting lots of them and you made poker so enjoyable to so many! Condolences to his family.
Mike Sexton was a class act all around! I was brought up playing home games in my teens and twenties. I was taught poker is a gentleman's game. I have always kept my game that way. No trash talk, belittling or any of today's garbage. Sexton was a consummate gentleman at the table and a player to look up to!
DNeg is the man! And so is Mike! DNeg very graceful in defeat, he recognized who he lost to, a true legend and over the years he’s become a legend in his own right. That’s why he’s one of my favorites, very classy and positive, and always has fun no matter what
Oh stop it . He was smug and arrogant and acted whiny throughout. Rewatch it . Seems very clear you’re a “fan” but he was not gracious at all . Very passive aggressive.
This was very entertaining. Great classic poker content. Far more entertaining than modern tournament poker. Sexton sure did card rack once the heads up play started though, caught a lot of big hands.
Prayers for the great Mike Sexton!! A TRUE poker ambassador. As for Mike Matusow's last hand, I don't blame him for moving all in there at all. Back in the day that may be looked as as a blowup, but in today's game with his chip stack it is what it is.
Mike Sexton played incredibly well in this tournament. Glad he won a big money tourney like this. I also loved his commentary for the WPT. He was instrumental in the WPT’s success. RIP Mike Sexton.
Everything that man did was incredible. Just finished this & had a tear in my eye. As a poker player I can only hope to have an illustrious, seasoned career such as him. But more importantly I hope I can inspire people, make people laugh, & do as much as he did for the world he lived & breathed. It's a bit bitter sweet to have the thought that no matter the titles, no matter the glory, no matter the kindness overflowing from that man, he succumbed to such a fate. The world's average of decent humans went down when Mike Sexton passed away. This will not be my only time watching this. P.S. HOW TF IS 2006 14 YEARS AGO ALREADY?! I remember being a young teenager watching this. Now years into a poker "career" I wonder if those were the best days. "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good ol' days before you've actually left them" -Andy Bernard
I'm starting to think that those WERE the best days. A one-two punch of both Black Friday and the pandemic, while several years apart, did a part in solidifying that.
I miss these great days of poker! I wish they have the other touarment of Champions available to watch especially the 2005 tournament of Champions! Is there a site where all of them are available to watch?
I Love all of these players! All so polite and great players but also have fun with each other! And so great. I miss Sexton and may he Rest In Peace! He accomplished his life dream and made Poker more entertaining and better for everyone!
Man sad day yesterday when I seen the news. Started playing in 05' and have to say Mr.Sexton without a doubt one of the most professional nice people in the game. R.i.p.
One of the most impressive reads Daniel read Mike Sexton for Kings! Saw this hand in a lot of collections, but never knew where it came from. Same for Mike Sexton downcall with 73o. I still think Mouth betsizing allowed this river call since its very polariesing
This is such pure entertainment. Poker is one of the purest games ever created. It doesn’t take a ton of genius. It doesn’t take a ton of practice. Just a little bit of both and anyone can play. To get to the next level? You need a certain trait that many of us fish can’t quite figure out.
Mike Saxton made almost what people would call Impossible calls in this event. He played perfect and luck was in his favour. A true Champion of Champions
Poker was SUCH a magical experience back in the early-mid 00’s….you couldn’t go anywhere without somebody talking about poker or going to the casino, or even playing online before they banned it in most of the US States. Miss these days badly 😭
