if you have seen any of the old broadcasts of the wsop (espn classic has been showing them at midnight), you will notice that the announcer is dick van patten, vinces father. i would have to assume that it was his fathers involvement as an announcer for earlier poker events that got his foot in the door. it definitely isnt his insightful commentary.
sexton is apparently a very good player. he seems to do well in the events that he enters, but of course he is limited to non wpt events, which clearly limits his earning potential. he has been around for a while, and seems to be very respected by other pros.
