“Kevin is going to have a fun time playing as a bounty. He better bring his ‘A' game because the other players are constantly trying to bust us!” Says the poker legend Doyle Brunson. “It's fun because not only are you trying to amass chips and win the tournament, you are also trying to knock out the bounties for huge cash awards. I think it's great that the players will be playing with and against a real movie star.”
