Secure Mike Sexton for Your Event

Sexton was a gymnast and attended Ohio State University where he earned a degree in public recreation after changing majors from business.

Although Sexton frequented tournaments, he was never able to make it to the World Series of Poker because he coached little league baseball teams and the schedules overlapped. In 1985 he moved to Nevada to pursue poker full time.

As of 2006, Sexton has won several tournaments, including one World Series of Poker bracelet, and over $1,000,000 in total tournament winnings. He is also in the top 10 for all time number of finishes in the money at the WSOP, with 37 cashes.

However, Sexton is more well known for his promotion of various poker events and services. He is the main host of the World Poker Tour and spokesman for PartyPoker.com, the biggest online poker room. Additionally, he is a writer for Cardplayer Magazine and the Gambling Times. He also founded the now defunct Tournament of Champions of Poker, which only let tournament winners from the previous year compete.

For all his work promoting poker, Sexton is often known as the "ambassador of poker". Because of his affiliations, however, Sexton is unable to play in some poker events. On February 15, 2006, Sexton was recognized as the top poker ambassador at the Card Player Player of the Year Awards Gala.
