Strip Poker World Record
A new Strip Poker World Record Set in London.
London's Cafe Royal was the scene for a World's first today as 200 poker players set a new official Guinness world record for the biggest Strip Poker tournament ever.
The Paddy Power World Strip Poker Championships kicked off at 1pm as 195 hopefuls set out to keep their clothes on and carve themselves a place in history.
Each player was given 5 items of clothing which they used to buy chips - as they lost their chips they cashed in their clothes for more. Some opted to strip from the bottom up and sat playing naked except for a cap!
The first person to lose their clothes and make the walk of shame was Andrew Mellusco from Twickenham, London).
Andrew said: "I had two threes but I was unlucky that the girl who beat me on the last hand had a top pair!"
The overall winner will walk away with £10,000, a specially commissioned Golden Fig Leaf trophy and entry to the Paddy Power Irish Open where up to €2 million will be up for grabs.
However, the winner will be left with a moral dilemma. If they decide to donate their winnings to charity, Paddy Power will double the prize to £20,000.
