Kevin, an avid poker player was most recently seen with girlfriend Nicky Hilton, breaking in the new poker room at Caesars Palace on New Year's Eve. The pair co-hosted a poker tournament as part of the New Year's festivities at Pure, Caesars flagship nightclub.

Kevin also competed in the Degree All-In Poker Experience charity tournament in New York on August 9, 2005. A charity event that raised funds for the National Guard Youth Challe NG e Program and the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

“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.”
