Our thoughts here at Card Player are with Mike and his family. Mike truly is the game's greatest ambassador and belongs on poker's Mount Rushmore. It has been an honor to interview him, work alongside him, and get to know him over the years.
Mike Sexton is poker’s greatest ambassadors. He authorized this tweet. He has only wanted to deliver positive messages so he kept his health problems private. Mike has been battling prostate cancer that has recently spread to other organs. He began in-home hospice a month ago.
