Six Days of Poker Action in Estonia
The No Filter Nordic & Baltic Championship is set to be the biggest stop to date for the No Filter Poker Series, running from October 17–22, 2025 at the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel & Olympic Park Casino in Estonia. The six-day festival features 21 tournaments, highlighted by the €1,100 Main Event with a €100,000 guaranteed first prize and the exclusive €3,500 Legends of the Game, capped at just 80 entries. Poker icons including Scotty Nguyen and Michael Mizrachi are already confirmed.
Mounir Tajiou’s Vision for No Filter
The series was founded by Mounir Tajiou, a Swedish high court judge, former professional footballer, and deep runner in the 2025 WSOP Main Event. Speaking about the brand, Tajiou explained that No Filter is built around “fun at the table over poker strategy,” aiming to deliver a mix of high-level competition and entertainment.
Main Event: €100,000 for the Champion
The €1,100 No Filter Main Event is the centerpiece of the festival, with multiple Day 1 flights scheduled between October 18 and 20. Each flight plays through ten levels before survivors return for Day 2 on October 21. The Final Day on October 22 will see a champion walk away with the €100,000 guaranteed prize.
Poker Legends Take Center Stage
Another major highlight is the €3,500 Legends of the Game, one of the most exclusive high rollers ever hosted in Estonia. Confirmed participants include 1998 WSOP Main Event winner Scotty Nguyen, reigning 2025 WSOP Main Event champion Michael Mizrachi, Finnish great Juha Helppi, poker star Tony G (Antanas Guoga), Norwegian veteran Johnny Lodden, and Estonian representatives Igor Pihela Sr. & Jr. Collectively, this lineup has amassed more than $65 million in live tournament winnings and multiple WSOP bracelets.

Beyond the headline events, the schedule ranges from €80 satellites and women-only events to a €5,000 six-max high roller. Progressive bounty formats also feature prominently. Meanwhile, cash games will run 24/7 inside the Olympic Park Casino, ensuring players can always find action between flights.
