New docuseries 'Online Poker Millionaires' by GGPoker & POKERfilms.
First episode focuses on Alex Theologis, airing Nov 12 on YouTube.
Series highlights the disciplined lifestyle of elite online poker players.

We’ve seen plenty of poker documentaries over the years, backroom bravado, Vegas lights, shaky GoPro footage from some live grinder’s POV. What we haven’t seen as much of is the quiet grind behind a computer screen, where today’s high-stakes crushers make (and sometimes lose) more money than most of us will touch in a decade.

Enter Online Poker Millionaires, a new docuseries from GGPoker and POKERfilms. The series isn’t here to glamorize the game; it’s built to show what it actually takes to make a living from online poker in 2025: relentless focus, spreadsheets, and an emotional fortitude few can stomach.

About the Series

The premiere episode drops Wednesday, November 12, exclusively on GGPoker’s YouTube channel. The lead? Alex Theologis, who boasts $9 million in GGPoker earnings and a reputation for cool, clinical play in the toughest online tournaments around.

Theologis stated:

Online poker gave me a life I never imagined possible. It’s not easy, but it’s real and that’s what Online Poker Millionaires shows.

According to director Mike Bailey, the goal of the series is to illuminate “the drive, the routine, and the quiet excellence” of these unseen players. Each episode follows a single high-stakes pro, pulling back the curtain on their routine, mindset, and the isolation that comes with clicking buttons for life-altering money.
