Pretty eventful day for Jeffrey Pollack and the WSOP.
First, there was an error during the bracelet ceremony today where the Sex Pistols “God Save the Queen” was played instead of the national anthem version. Then the $50k H.O.R.S.E. event had a record field…record low field, that is. The commish talks about that and more (like where is the Chip Reese Trophy?) in his latest vlog.

I’ll start by saying I’ve been known to be a part of the punk rockin’ anti-establishment and the Sex Pistols have always been a part of my music collection. It’s just like high school. But I really can’t believe you’re giving him a free pass on this.
I don’t believe the “communication error” apology. Are we sure that he even realizes that the Sex Pistols God Save the Queen is not just an “embellishment from a punk rock band” and that it’s not an actual “version” of the British national anthem? If there truly had been a miscommunication and if he truly knew that the Sex Pistols version was really an anti-national anthem, then he would’ve stopped the ceremony as soon as it “hit the airwaves” instead of standing up there rocking out.
Would be great to see the reaction if they played a “version” of the Star Spangled Banner that kicked off with the first lines being “Oh say can you see, the fascist regime…”
God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb
God save the queen
She aint no human being
There is no future
In England’s dreaming
Don’t be told what you want
Don’t be told what you need
There’s no future no future
No future for you
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
‘Cos tourists are money
Our figures head
Is not what she seems
Oh god save history
God save your mad parade
Oh lord god have mercy
All crimes are paid
When there’s no future
How can there be sin
We’re the flowers in the dustbin
We’re the poison in your human machine
We’re the future you’re future
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
We mean it man
And there is no future
In England’s dreaming
No future no future
No future for you
No future no future
No future for me
No future no future
No future for you
No future no future
No future for you
No future no future for you
