Richard Kain was born in Pittsburg, but he is now a marketing executive in San Francisco. Kain reportedly gave himself the nickname, "Hurricane," and his poker fans picked it up. Kain played in UltimateBet's Aruba Poker Classic during Season 3 of the World Poker Tour. He made the money, but he didn't get close to the final table. Later in Season 3, Kain made his mark on the Party Poker Million, one of the WPT's few Limit events. Kain qualified for the tournament online. He made the final table, but people soon started talking about "poor Richard," and they weren't talking about the almanac. He kept losing hands with good cards, and Kain finished that tournament in sixth place, winning $200,000.
