For almost any poker player, winning a World Poker Tour title is the culmination of a dream.
In that way, Mike Sexton's victory at partypoker WPT Montreal was like any other WPT winner's story. Like many players who finally climb the WPT mountain after years of grinding, Sexton had fired countless WPT tournaments over the years. He finally defeated a field of 648 players to claim $317,817 in prize money and his quotes wouldn't look out of place coming from any other WPT winner.
"I just can't say how thrilling it is for me to have won a World Poker Tour title, to get my name on the Champion's Cup with all the great players," he said.
