Frankie C, aka Frankie Cucchiara, is a professional YouTuber who plays poker, having fallen in love with the game from the very first time he played it.
Frankie’s YouTube career started with the Dallas-based Next Gen Poker crew, featuring Cucchiara and two poker-playing friends from college. Inspired by poker vloggers like Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme, they shared live poker hands and tales from the tables with hundreds of thousands of subscribers online.
He has since launched his own YouTube channel, where he focuses on bringing poker stories to life in the most innovative and entertaining way he can, with his videos reaching millions of viewers around the world.
A chess player in his youth, Frankie wants to see poker explode the same way chess did in the wake of the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit. His motto is, ‘I want to make poker a spectacle’, and he uses his skills and passion for filmmaking to try and bring that to life.
“Just like football has touchdowns, we have sick beats, spin up stories, and epic bankroll challenges,” says Frankie. “My passion for poker is matched only by my love for filmmaking.”
Frankie’s partner Kitty Kuo is a full-time poker pro, and his stated ambitions are to win a WSOP bracelet and produce a big budget movie. With his drive and talent, we wouldn’t bet against either of those goals becoming a reality before too long.
