In today’s double barrel we salute Mike Sexton for adding the title of Word Poker Tour Champions Club Member to his LinkedIn profile, and Bet365 become the first online gambling firm to offer a suite of gambling products in Bulgaria.

Thankfully, for Mike Sexton, rules are made for breaking.

In 2002, Steve Lipscomb approached Mike Sexton about an idea to create a poker show for television. Sexton thought the idea was a winner, and introduced Lipscomb to Lyle Berman and Jerry Buss in a bid to find capital for the project.

After the show had got the green light, Lipscomb had some good and bad news for Sexton when it came to his role in the show.
