The bubble can be a good place to accumulate some scared chips but, as this hand proves, it can also be a place to lose some chips to people who simply are not easily scared.
Fresh off the back of his recent win against Roy, Visser raised to 8,000 from under the gun and Roberto Spada called in the big blind.
Flop: 
Spada check-called a 11,700 bet from Visser.
Turn: 
The vultures started to gather around the table hoping and praying that this would be the hand. Spada checked and Visser bet 31,600 - maybe the vultures were going to get their carcass after all - Spada calmly called.
River: 
Spada checked for the third time and Visser sensed that the all-in move, on the bubble, would be enough to get the hand through and he said "all-in." Spada was in no mood for folding and he called. The place went crazy with everyone gathering around the table but the smile on Visser's face said it all. There was not going to be a bubble boy during this hand.
Spada turned over 
for top pair and Visser turned over 
for the bluff.
Visser ~ 110,000
Spada ~ 260,000
