Hindsight is a wonderful thing but it can also be a double edged sword — as WPT winner Mike Sexton knows only too well.
During his chat with Joey Ingram on the Poker Life Podcast Sexton admits to selling his partypoker stocks probably 4 years sooner than he should have which cost him around $500m.
Ouch
If that’s whetted your appetite for more Sexton gossip, catch the interview in full, below.

Liv Boeree has teamed up with The Life You Can Save and her charity
Raising for Effective Giving as part of the social media movement #givingtuesday to help us understand the importance of making educated and informed decisions when it comes to charitable donations .
That way, our money can be put the best possible use — as let’s be honest, we all have minimal resources that we would like to see go as far as possible.
Turns out Boeree knows a thing or too about effective giving as it was recently reported in The Huffington Post that Boeree’s organisation Raising for Effective Giving (REG) has raised $1.5 million since its founding in 2014.
REG encourages poker players to “give back” to the most cost-effective charities in the world.
Read the interview Boeree gave to The Huffington Post here.
Also, check out Dan Smith’s charity drive that runs through the end of the year — he will be matching charity donations up to $175k to a choice of 9 charities. Read all about his endeavour here.
The new show from Doug Polk and Joey Ingram is here: Table Talk with Polk & Papi.
The show will air weekly and covers “current news and trending topics in the poker world.”
Last week they covered topics such as Gus Hansen's return to poker, PokerStars changes, the Phil Ivey edge-sorting scandal and the hot topic of the new president-elect.
Watch the show in full below, or catch the show LIVE at 2pm EST on Wednesdays on DougPolk.tv or you can find the full episode on Joey’s or Doug’s YouTube channel afterwards.
