Strip Poker Tournament
Paddy Power Poker has announced plans to hold the biggest ever strip poker tournament this summer to break the world record for a naked card game.
The audacious attempt to break the record will take place at a secret venue in Dublin on 1st August 2006.
Following the first ever global poker survey Paddy Power Poker discovered more than 50% of online poker players enjoy playing in the nude and decided it was the perfect way to take Ireland's mind of not being at this summer's World Cup in Germany.
The winner of this event will receive the Paddy Power Poker golden fig leaves and a holiday for two in one of Europe's premier nudist spots; Cayton Beach, Scarborough.
Paddy Power, head of communications for the bare-faced bookmakers, said: "Any man would be a fool to not want to play, I've been working out already for when I have to play my joker."
"Poker is one of the fastest growing games in the world, it's currently seen as very popular and quite sexy. Several leading players have already signed up and we're hopeful a few Page Three girls will want to join in the flesh frenzy."
"We're going to bring this record home to where it belongs, Ireland. We may have missed out on the World Cup finals this year but we're going to go down in history this summer as the finest naked poker players on the planet!"
The record of 104 players was set in 1999 by the Naturist Society of Estonia who, in an unusual twist, started off naked and donned clothes as they lost hands. The winner, Petma Boom, donned the least amount of clothing in the 2 hour event, finishing the game wearing just one sock.
Following the Estonian strip poker model, entrants will start the game naked and be eliminated when they'll don 10 items of clothing.

Mike Caro
US poker legend Mike Caro, the 'Mad Genius of poker' will speak at Trinity College, Dublin and play in Paddy Power Poker Irish Open 2006.
Mike Caro, the world's foremost authority on poker strategy, psychology, and statistics is making a rare visit outside of his native US to play in the Paddy Power Poker Irish Open 2006.
The noted 'mad genius of poker' will also give a lecture at the Graduates Memorial Building (GMB), Trinity College, Dublin on Thursday 13th April at 5.30pm. This will be followed by a Question & Answer session and a book signing.
Caro is a respected gambling authority, oddsmaker on current events and politics, and author of seven books.
His book Mike Caro's Book of Tells-The Body Language of Poker is one of the most widely quoted books in the history of poker and his research and theories are noted in at least 40 gaming books other than his own.
Paddy Power, spokesman for the Irish bookmaker said, "We're wildly thrilled to have such a legend come in play in the Irish Open. With Caro's ability to read people he’s sure to put the fear into anyone who sits down at his table."
He is also founder of the Mike Caro University of Poker, Gaming, and Life Strategy as well as being a highly regarded poker professional. Twice world champion Doyle Brunson describes him as "the finest draw player alive."
Caro plays in the 3,200 euro buy-in Paddy Power Poker Irish Open 2006 in Jurys Ballsbridge Hotel from April 14-17th.
The Irish Open, celebrating its 25th birthday this year, is Europe's oldest poker tournament. It has a 1 million euro guaranteed prize pool, 50,000 euro added and the final table will be broadcast live across Europe on April 17 on Sky Sports 2 at 9pm.
