Just saw this and wanted to pass this along to all of those that follow and play poker. Mike Sexton, the host of the WPT tv broadcasts since it's inception has died of prostate cancer at the age of 72. If you follow the game at all you know who he is. I always thought he did a good job and was wondering why he had not been on the broadcasts lately.

Edit: Sexton had left the WPT in 2017 as he was named Chairman of Partypoker.com. He had been with them since 2001 before you ever saw any poker online. I did not realize he had stepped down from WPT and not sure if his illness had anything to do with that.

He seemed to be a likable guy. Hate to hear this.
