Frank Funaro

Biography

Back in 2016, Frank Funaro notched his first-ever tournament score in a tournament at Borgata. Since then, he’s amassed $2,281,579 in tournament earnings – which currently places him 18th on New Jersey’s all-time money list as of January 2023 – including a career-high $1,301,000 for finishing fifth in the WPT World Championship at the end of 2022.

That career-high score was the cherry on top of a career year in which he amassed $1,556,530 in lifetime earnings according to The Hendon Mob. That was nearly three times more than the $589,946 he earned in 2021. Oh, and he also captured a WSOP Online bracelet back in October when he won Event #29: $1,000 NLH Championship for $94,097.

Funaro, who dabbles in real estate off the felt, is also a former No. 1 US online poker player according to PocketFives.
