Congratulations to Mike Sexton and His New Bride

The Ambassador of Poker, who is now filming his sixth season on the WPT, is in the field today. Mike loves to play, but he usually has to commentate. This is his favorite time of year when he gets to play the entire WSOP.

However, this post is to send out congratulations to Mike and his lovely new bride, Karen Van Horn, who got married in Hawaii two weeks ago. What a great couple they make! All the poker pros are very happy that Mike has found his perfect match. The Poker Gods brought them together, so let's hope they shine down upon them. Either way, Sexton feels like he is already a winner.

The Early Hush

Once the spectators have been ushered out of the Amazon Room and play begins, a cathedral-like hush seems to come over the Amazon Room in the opening minutes of these large-field $1,500 tournaments. As the first-timers' nerves wear off and players settle in to their tables, the volume starts to slowly turn up on the room. And when the spectators are allowed back in... well, forget about it.
