Mike Sexton began playing poker at the age of 13 and became a
full-time professional player in 1977. He moved from North Carolina
to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1985 and won his first World Series of
Poker bracelet in 1989. In his four decades as a poker professional
Mike excelled as a poker player, poker businessman and was one of
poker's premiere ambassadors for 25 years. He was instrumental in
the creation of partypoker in 2001 and was a key player in the
launch of the World Poker Tour in 2002, an event that changed the
world of poker forever. Mike can be credited with the creation of
two mega events in the poker world: the Tournament of Champions of
Poker in 1999 and the partypoker Million in 2002. Along with Vince
van Patten, he was a commentator on the WPT from its inception.
Mike was recognized as Poker's Top Ambassador at the Card Player
Magazine Player of the Year Awards gala in 2006. That same year, he
won the World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions, collecting
$1 million in prize money - half of which he donated to charity. In
2009, he was thrilled to receive poker's greatest honor - induction
into the Poker Hall of Fame. And, if that weren't enough, in 2016
he was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the
American Poker Awards. In this book Mike recounts his personal
experiences and gives his take on some of poker's legendary
characters over the past 40 years. If you enjoy poker, are
fascinated by the development of the game and enjoy compelling
poker, golf and gambling adventures, then you'll love Life's A
Gamble.
