This Friday's weekend planner takes you from Asia, to Brazil, to the red carpet, and back to online where you can also make some real cash.

Need something to do over the following couple of days? Listed below are some options.

The APPT Manila Main Event kicked off a few days ago, and over the weekend the players could be working their way toward a champion.

We have Marc Convey and Brad Kain at the ground within the Philippines, and they'll be providing live updates right down to the last river.

If you missed the announcement earlier this week, PokerStars is running two promotions that might put some more money on your pocket before the top of the summer.

Included within the promotions are $30 worth of freeplay for brand new depositors. That promo may also get you a ticket to a monster $1 million freeroll.

If you aren't a brand new depositor, you continue to have a possibility to make some good profit the new Jacks or Better Challenge.

To examine both, take a look at this post: Free money: Two how you can pad your PokerStars bankroll in August.

Straight up honesty here: there's a lot about this video I DO NOT understand. First of all, it is all in Portuguese, which excluding saying thanks and ordering a beer, I DO NOT speak. Second, at one point, I BELIEVE there's a Christmas carol playing because the background music. Third...well, you get the point.

Nevertheless, you get to peer Andre Akkari and Daniel Negreanu at the indoor pitch, and that's entertaining despite the fact that "Deck the Halls" isn't playing within the background.

The Daniel Negreanu documentary was playing on Netflix for roughly two months now, and the reviews from fans have been...well, in some cases, tearful.

Here's the trailer for those who haven't seen it.

Have an excellent weekend!
