The $64,000 Question

[user4144]

These 8 poker Trojans may be playing for a cool one million dollars, but on the sidelines there is more important issue at hand...

Has anyone ever streaked in poker?

Now, I'm sure millions of drunk students have danced around a home game in nothing but the birthday suit and a bow tie, and I know that there was a Strip Poker Championship in Ireland last year, but in terms of someone actually ripping of those velcro trousers and letting it all hang out at a major live event... has it ever happened?

My recollection is that it hasn't, but you may know better. If I am indeed correct, then perhaps today is the perfect opportunity: the big stage, the TV razmattaz, the spectators and, naturally, my good self egging whomever has the ahem... balls from the sidelines.

If I wasn't such a physical marvel, I would be happy to take the plunge, but it simply wouldn't be fair on any observers. I don't think I could live with myself if everyone left with a complex because of me.

Well, okay, that's not the real reason... it's really cold in here!
