Oops small mishap at WSOP

At the World Series of Poker when a winners bracelet is awarded they play the winners national anthem like in other games/sports

A few days ago a British player won a bracelet unfortunately some daft Yank appears to have got it a bit wrong

Just a bit. They all looked a bit nonplussed at the whole thing.

Wrong? I thought that was the National anthem.

Who says Americans can't do irony?

Happy · 09-07-2009, 22:25

Ha, that's pretty good

Mark · 09-07-2009, 23:21

OK, I obviously completely missed something. What did I miss?

Umm.. well that's certainly not quite the rendition of "God Save the Queen" I think most people would be expecting by way of a national anthem

Actually, when you consider the lyrics:

It's a bit more extreme than that, more like "F**K the USA" or similar.

Yeah, I figured that bit out. I just didn't figure out what he actually did play.
