Alec Baldwin eyes Melbourne Millions after a $9.3M poker career milestone

Professional poker player Alec Baldwin has reflected on a strong 2025 while setting his sights on new goals for 2026. With over $9.3 million in career earnings and two WSOP bracelets, he remains a prominent figure in the USA poker scene. His upcoming plans include a debut appearance at the Melbourne Millions and continued support for player-friendly poker companies.

Baldwin’s 2025 achievements extended beyond the tables. He described the year as successful in terms of personal growth, health, and relationships. One standout moment was stepping out of his introverted nature to focus on content creation and streaming.

On the poker front, his biggest win came at the 2025 WPT World Championship Series, where he took down the $800 event for $247,318. However, he also noted frustration with a growing disconnect between what players want and what Mega Millions tournament operators provide. Looking ahead, Baldwin has clear priorities for 2026. He will make his first trip to Melbourne, Australia, for the prestigious Melbourne Millions tournament in January. Additionally, he has pledged to support Phenom Poker, a company he believes aligns with players’ best interests. While details about other 2026 events remain limited, his schedule is already taking shape.

Baldwin’s career continues to thrive, with a mix of personal and professional milestones in 2025. His upcoming debut in Melbourne and advocacy for player-focused companies mark his focus for the new year. With a history of major wins and industry recognition, his influence in the USA poker scene remains strong.
