The Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) is hosting two separate poker tournaments this weekend in Las Vegas and Florida in order to raise money for charities in support of autism treatment and military families respectively.
The "Chip in For Autism" event at the Moon Nightclub at The Palms in Las Vegas will take place on Nov. 11, while the "Folding for the Families" event at the Palm Beach Kennel Club in West Palm Beach will get underway on Nov. 13.

Meanwhile, the "Folding for the Families" event in Florida will be raising money for The Folded Flag Foundation, which aims "to provide educational scholarships and support grants to the spouses and children of the United States military and government personnel who died as a result of hostile action or in an accident related to U.S. combat or stateside military operations."
