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 ($18,630) 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.
