WPT's Mike Sexton Supports Online Poker

In what some see as an ironic turn of events, World Poker Tour announcer and poker professional Mike Sexton has come out to say that he will fight for online poker in the public forum. What makes his decision interesting is that the World Poker Tour's parent company, WPT Enterprises, has also recently come out with a statement, saying that they are in favor of the recent passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. Pro poker players, even those under contract, have always been a very independent bunch, so perhaps it isn't a surprise after all that Sexton would act counter to his employer on the matter, and it fits with his past history of acting as an ambassador of poker, a game that he obviously loves very much.
