Poker Players Stripped of Dignity for World Record Attempt
Friday 28th July 2006
Hundreds of poker buffs are preparing to bare all in an attempt to become the first ever to win the title of World Strip Poker Champion this August 19 in London’s swanky Café Royal. The event, which will be filmed for television broadcast, is the brainchild of cheeky Irish bookmakers Paddy Power, who are attempting to set a brand new Guinness World Record for the biggest ever strip poker tournament.
Along with setting a new World Record, the winner will also be crowned the inaugural World Strip Poker Champion, and will take home an exclusive “Golden Fig Leaf” trophy plus £10,000 cash.
“We’ve already seen phenomenal interest and one daring couple are even flying in from Sydney, Australia especially to take part,” said a spokesman for Paddy Power.
Additionally, the new champion will also win a VIP trip to Dublin including free entry (worth £3,000) to the paddypowerpoker.com Irish Open next April, where they will have a chance to play for over £1 million.
