Lil Duquaine (whom I refer to as Diamond Lil, because she is such a gem), Forest Edge poker room manager, has done it again, living up her reputation as the Poker Tournament Diva with her recent Spring Classic Poker Tournament on May 19th at the Menominee Casino in Keshena, Wisconsin. The Forest Edge Poker Room, voted No. 1 by playersthroughout the Midwest, keeps the excitement going with numerous attractive tournament offerings.

The most recent annual Spring Classic was no exception. The field of 112 comprised Midwestern poker notables, locals, newcomers, dealers from other properties, and even a few jerkbait fisherman, enjoyed chills and spills, heartbreak and moments of glory throughout the day at this quintessential Midwestern classic. This part of the state has always been a hotbed of poker activity long before the legalized gaming, casinos, and card rooms, which makes playing poker at the Forest Edge an exciting and often educational experience.

Congratulations to the Spring Classic finalists, taking home their share of the $28,000.00 prize pool:

1. Tim Heeg . . . . . . . . . . . $11,200

2. Robert Scaturo . . . . . . . . $5,600

5. Leonard Gerritts III . . . . . $1,960
