Fresh off a $17,500 cash in the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event, Ashley Frank, better known to her growing fanbase as PokerFace Ash, shows no signs of slowing down. Now that she’s tasted success in poker’s biggest event, she’s setting her sights even higher, with next year’s Main Event already in her crosshairs.
With over 35,000 YouTube subscribers and a poker résumé that continues to grow, Frank is not just a formidable player at the tables but also one of the most engaging and relatable voices in the poker content world.
Her latest adventure? A coast-to-coast content collaboration with fellow poker vlogger Jaman Burton. Together, the duo is taking fans behind the scenes of the poker grind, capturing the travel, tournament runs, and everyday moments that define the life of a modern poker player.
Frank’s journey into poker began during her college years, where she discovered the game at social nights with her college basketball team. What started as casual play quickly ignited a passion. As her skills sharpened, so did her ambition.
Since recording her first tournament cash in 2016, Frank has amassed over $250,000 in live earnings. Her breakout year came in 2023, when she notched two major wins within just a month. In March, she claimed victory in the WSOP Circuit Ladies Event, earning $4,757 and her first WSOPC ring. In April, she followed that up with a win in the 6-Max Ring Event at the RunGood Poker Series, collecting $9,779 and her first RGPS ring.
Frank has also steadily built her World Series of Poker résumé, with 11 WSOP cashes totaling $77,445. Her most memorable performance came in the 2023 $1,500 Monster Stack event, where she finished 16th out of a massive field and earned a career-best $56,980.
Beyond her achievements on the felt, Frank is celebrated for her upbeat attitude, commitment to fitness, and authentic content. Her vlogs go beyond poker hands; they give viewers an intimate look into the highs, lows, and daily grind of life as a traveling poker pro. Her favorite poker destination so far? Panama.
As a player, Frank has also evolved in her approach to the game. Initially relying on instinct, she later dove deep into Game Theory Optimal (GTO) strategy. Now, she has found a powerful balance between intuition and studied fundamentals, an approach that continues to serve her well.
Whether she’s making a deep run in a bracelet event or sharing laughs and lessons on the road with Burton, Frank is inspiring a new wave of poker fans, especially women, proving that with discipline, passion, and a bit of camera savvy, anything is possible.
