Sad to see. I really got into WPT during my time at UM and had a running poker night with some friends there... we all watched WPT and kept quoting lines from Rounders.
Just another fun footnote for 2020.

I saw that. I was surprised, but I guess he had prostate cancer.

Was just watching WPT reruns last night on FSD and was thinking to myself I missed the camaraderie between Mr. Sexton and Vince Van Patten. Interesting side note that Vince Van Patten's Dad was Dick Van Patten from Eight is Enough.
RIP Mr. Sexton. May the heavens deal you Royal Flushes.

Dick Van Patten was also King Roland in Spaceballs.

Damn you can post just about anything on mgoblog nowadays I guess.

Even idiotic comments like yours.

This is a Michigan football blog but for some reason i see more politics and posts like this than actual sports. I understand there's a not a lot of sports going on but this isn't the place for posts like this...

That's what OT in the post topic is for. You are in control of your clicks.
If you wish to make commentary, perhaps a diary with more editorial substance would provide you more of a forum.

Dude your username sucks. The "Jake from State Farm" commercials are fucking terrible and make me want to vomit.

Pretty sure almost every celebrity death gets a shout out on this site. So take your khaki and red shirt wearing ass over to the OSU blog if you don't like it.
September 7th, 2020 at 11:06 PM ^
or any stupid screen name....
you must be new here if you think this site is just for Michigan football.

good one bud

If you don't like a post, ignore it. Very simple.

Bummed to see he died from prostate cancer. Seems really preventable in this day and age

Rest in Peace.

What a legend. If you have a couple hours please listen to Mike Matusow's podcast tribute where most of the poker big names shared stories of Mike. He truly was a perfect ambassador to poker.

Mr. Son of a bitch!
Pay the man his money

Always enjoyed his schtick and commentary on WPT.
Please tell me Shana Hiatt is still doing fine.

Looks like he got rivered one last time.
