Time to get out your calendars and check your watch batteries, because the next few days have more can't miss poker events than seemingly the whole last month put together.

Saturday, December 12th, starts things off with the All-in For CP 2, an important live charity event at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.  This event is hosted by Academy Award nominee Jennifer Tilly and benefits the One Step Closer Foundation, an organization dedicated to easing the lives of those who suffer from Cerebral Palsy.  Just like last year, this tournament is expected to draw numerous top pros and celebrities and costs only $500 + $50 to enter (with optional $200 rebuys during the first 90 minutes).

For those of you that can't quite swing a $550 rebuy tournament in Las Vegas (even if it is for charity), Sunday, December 13th, may be your answer, with the Sebok's Million Twitter Follower Blowup Celebration tournament on UB.com.  This $5.50 online tournament (Password- SeebsTwitter) is offering over $24,000 in added cash and prizes and will feature many of PokerRoad's top personalities, not only playing, but giving away money if you bust them out.

For more information check out the promo page here, and if you haven't already, don't forget to sign up to UB.com through PokerRoad using the referral code "SEBOK" to receive an 111% first-time deposit bonus (up to $1,100).

It should be an exciting weekend and when it's over on Monday, December 14th, players should be all warmed up to take down the last World Poker Tour event of the 2-0-0s, the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic. 

This year's classic costs $15,400 to enter and is once again expected to attract the creme of the poker crop.  The event only has one starting day, but it's a long one, as players have the option of registering until the end of level eight. 

As this is the last major WPT event of 2009, PokerRoad will be there in force, with not only new episodes of PokerRoad Radio, but also, blogs, news and videos straight from the heart of the action.
