<p class="mobile-post">TV stars Connie Stevens, Eileen Davidson, Vince Van Patten, Adam Rich and
some celebrity surprise guests are expected to compete in the second annual
Dick Van Patten No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em Celebrity Poker Tournament today
through Sunday at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. Just how good are these
players? We hope good. Proceeds go to underwrite a special holiday party
supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Community Association at Twentynine Palms.
How will this tournament be different from last year's? "We're going to have
more celebrities like Connie Stevens, who I absolutely adore because if it
wasn't for her, my family and I would have never left New York," Dick Van
Patten said.</p>
