WPT BOOT CAMP

Mike Sexton and Vince van Patten launch their own school of hard knocks

World Poker Tour commentators, Mike Sexton and Vince van Patten have been named as instructors for the first WPT Boot Camp. Sexton and van Patten are familiar faces on the WPT, providing commentary for the TV show which has created a boom in the world of poker. All three of the instructors possess great insight into the workings of World Poker Tour tournaments, which will be used for a basis for instruction.

Steve Berman, Co-founder of the WPT Boot Camp says, "Mike, Vince and Alex have all played the game of poker and been witness to the skills of top players worldwide. Together they will provide the kind of coaching necessary to help amateur poker players reach and succeed at a WPT Final Table. They will be instrumental in selecting additional quality instructors for WPT BOOT CAMP."

Mike Sexton is a 25 year poker-pro with numerous championships to his name, including The Legends of Poker and The L.A Classic. Sexton is also credited with the creation of The Tournament of Champions and the hugely popular Party Poker Million.

"I'm really looking forward to the WPT BOOT CAMP," Sexton said. "And while high-stakes poker can be a pretty serious, stressful business, that doesn't mean we can't have some fun with the folks we're teaching. Poker is, after all, a game."


WPT Boot Camp enrollment costs $1,495. For more information go to www.wptbootcamp.com or call 866-WPT-BOOT from the USA.
