Frank Kissick

Frank Kissick is an American poker competitor who has made his mark in the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS). While not a household name, he has accumulated over $18,000 in live tournament earnings through consistent cashes in regional events. His profile on WSOP.com lists four cashes and one final table appearance.

Kissick's recorded tournament results date to 2024, all within the RGPS circuit:

In the 2024 RGPS Destination RunGood Kansas City Main Event, Kissick reached the final table and was eliminated in 8th place. According to a CardPlayer report, he moved all-in with pocket eights and was called by eventual champion Blair Hinkle, who held pocket jacks. The jacks held, sending Kissick out with $11,722. Hinkle went on to win the tournament for $92,228.

Public observations of Kissick's play are limited, but his run in the RGPS Main Event suggests a solid, fundamentally sound approach. His elimination hand—pushing with 88 into a larger stack—indicates he was not afraid to take a stand in a short-stacked situation, a common trait among experienced tournament grinders.

Frank Kissick represents the many regional tournament players who build careers through smaller buy-in events and consistent cashes rather than high-profile victories. While he lacks a major title, his four RGPS cashes in 2024 show a player capable of competing in sizable fields.
