----- Strip Poker Champion Gets To Keep His Clothes On -----

LONDON - A freelance British journalist has become the
world's first official champion of strip poker, escaping
nudity with wily playing of Texas Hold'em. The inaugural
World Strip Poker Championships were organized by the
Irish Paddy Power bookmaking company at London's Cafe
Royal, where John Young beat out 194 players of both sexes
in eight hours of play, ITN reported. The top prize was
$19,000 and a Golden Fig Leaf trophy. Players were given
five items of clothing which they used to buy chips, and
as they lost their chips, they cashed in their clothes for
more. The UK.pokernews.com Web site reported the last
standing woman went out to a loud ovation.
