Northern Quest Resort & Casino


WAVE Journey's first visit to Northern Quest Resort & Casino (minutes from downtown
Spokane, WA) proved to be an awesome experience exceeding our expectations. The hotel,
as well as, the dining options were top notch with friendly, accommodating staff at every
turn.
Jill was enticed to visit for their 2011 World Series of Poker Spring Fling which ran April 5th
through the 9th. Daily tournaments were available with seats given away for the upcoming
WSOP in Las Vegas. Alas, Jill didn't win a seat "this time", but the experience was reward
enough.
WJ salutes NQ and the poker team led by Marc Gottbreht. They did a terrific job hosting the
tournaments in their very comfortable and smoke-free poker room. The Saturday Ladies
Event was hosted by High Heels Poker Tour and the turnout of women was impressive for
this inaugural event.
The HHPT Ladies tournament during NQ's Spring Fling was set up in the Kalispel Ballroom
and enjoyed 99 entries. Marlice Aronson and Kara Winey chopped for first place with one
gal taking the WSOP seat and the other taking the equivalent value in cash.
If you missed this opportunity for a seat to the 2011 WSOP, check out the upcoming
