MIKE SEXTON REJOINS PARTYPOKER
Party Poker is delighted to announce that it has renewed its association with poker legend Mike Sexton. Mike will act as a host, consultant, ambassador and player for the leading online poker room.
Sexton, who has acted as the host of PartyPoker.com in the past, is unarguably one of the most respected figures in the game.
Mike Sexton is the Pied Piper of the poker world. No single human being is more responsible for the phenomenal growth of poker than Mike, and the competition is not even close.
Which is not to say that Mike's past isn't loaded with failed attempts at the brass ring. The Tournament of Champions of Poker was Mike's brainchild that sadly was ahead of its time. If it had been launched a few years later, the mixed game format of the TOC might be showing the world a more complex picture of what it takes to be a truly top poker player.
Sexton issued the following statement: “Partypoker.com has always had a place in my heart and is special to me. I am delighted to pen a new deal; it means so much to me,” said Sexton. “I look forward to representing them in events around the world and meeting the online package winners at the WSOP.”
Party Poker is the world's largest online poker room with the most players and the highest amount of traffic. At Party Poker, you can play virtual cards against players from all parts of the world 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Party sang Sexton’s praises in a statement: “Mike is the ‘Ambassador of Poker’ and we hope he gets the acknowledgment he deserves and is inducted into the WSOP Hall of Fame this year. Poker wouldn’t be as popular as it is today if it wasn’t for Mike Sexton.”
