Ranno Sootla

The atmosphere at Olympic Park Casino in Tallinn has been absolutely buzzing all week, as the 2025 No Filter Poker Series Nordic & Baltic Championship Open has moved into full swing.

With the focus on fun and building community as much as the serious business of poker tournaments in a packed schedule, the sound of laughter, chips riffling, and the tunes of Duncan Horst have filled the air throughout the week in a rammed tournament room.

Attention now shifts to the inaugural €1,100 Main Event, with €100,000 guaranteed to the winner, and we pick up the action at the start of Day 2 at noon local time, with five starting flights already completed.

A total of 122 players out of 285 entrants navigated ten levels across the Day 1's to progress to Day 2, but with late registration open until the start of Level 14, those numbers are certain to increase further, with the prize pool currently standing at €270,750.

Legend of the Game and WSOP Online bracelet winner Ranno Sootla of Estonia (333,000) leads the field, and is closely followed by Kai Lehto of Finland (320,000) and Mikael Haapaniemi (308,000), also of Finland.

2	Kai Lehto	Finland	320,000	213

9	Petteri Miettinen	Finland	251,000	167
10	Ruslan Lipnikov	Estonia	240,500	160

Sootla has over $1,100,000 in recorded earnings, and is aiming for his 11th recorded live tournament win.

Lehto also has over seven-figures in recorded cashes, his biggest score being a €204,500 payday for a runner-up finish in a €10,300 buy-in event at EPT Barcelona in 2018. Haapaniemi has almost $150,000 in recorded results, and will be hoping to beat his career-best score of €19,300. (All figures courtesy of The Hendon Mob).

Plenty of big names are in the mix for a tilt at the title, including Johan Karlsson (291,000), Tero Laurila (146,000), Juha Helppi (122,500) and Legends of the Game winner Mikko Ylamaki (106,000).

Day 2 entrants will receive a 50,000 starting stack, with play commencing at Level 11 with blinds of 1,000/1,500, with a 1,500 big blind ante. The clock is set to 40-minute levels, and play will continue until a final table is reached.

The final nine will return at noon on October 22 to play until a champion is crowned, and the final day action will be streamed on OlyBet's YouTube poker channel on a 30-minute delay.
