Mike Sexton Inducted into Poker Hall of Fame
Mike Sexton has been inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame, receiving 23 out of 30 votes, the minimum required to be inducted.
Sexton was the only candidate to receive enough votes to be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. He was born on September 22, 1947, in Shelby, Indiana. After graduating from Ohio State University, he served in the US Army for two years. Sexton has been a professional poker player since 1977.
In 2006, Sexton won the Tournament of Champions, defeating Daniel Negreanu in the heads-up final. He donated half of his $1 million prize to charity. Sexton is known for his exemplary behavior and adherence to poker ethics.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
