You'll lose more than a hand in this game

Dublin - It started as an April Fool's joke but an Irish bookmaker's proposal to hold the world's biggest strip poker contest will become reality next month. Paddy Power floated the idea as a joke but it generated so much interest - and hundreds of requests to take part - that the Dublin-based company decided to organise a contest.
So next month, 200 poker buffs will risk baring all in an attempt to become the first World Strip Poker Champion - and earn a place in the Guinness Book of Records. The winner will also receive a "Golden Fig Leaf" trophy plus £10 000 (about R120 000) in cash.

"This will be the most fun you can have with your clothes on - or off!" Paddy Power said in a statement for the tournament, which will be held in London on August 19.
