Mike Sexton Gives His Top 10 Poker Moments of 2012
Poker legend Mike Sexton recently updated his blog on PartyPoker, listing his Top 10 poker moments of 2012. Topping his list is the opening televised event from Season XI of the World Poker Tour; the PARX Poker Open Poker Classic in Philadelphia. Sexton said of the tournament: "This was the WPT’s first visit to Philly and to PARX and the casino was quite impressive. What really impressed me, however, were the six finalists – all from the East Coast and all in their 20s!"
Other highlights from Sexton's 2012 include PokerStars buying Full Tilt; Women at the WSOP; Marvin Rettenmaier's back-to-back WPT titles and the $1 million buy-in ONE DROP tournament. Read Sexton's thoughts at his PartyPoker blog.
