Eurogamer poker heat tonight

Playing details inside.

The first heat in the Eurogamer PKR Challenge 2006 poker tournament takes place tonight, so here are the details. We're not bluffing.

The heat takes place at 8pm UK time, and costs nothing to enter. All you need to do is download the PKR client and set yourself up.

When you load it up, the tournament should show as EGC #1, and the password to get in is supermario. Registration for the tournament will be enabled two hours prior to the start.

As you already know if you've been eagerly waiting for this to kick off, there will be seven heats in total, one taking place every Thursday night, with a US$ 500 given away each time.

Not only that, but the winners, along with the next three best-ranked players on the overall leaderboard, will be invited to take part in a grand final on 14th December.
