Matusow Gives Future Bubble Boy Grief

"Bubble Boy's dead to a baby card," says Mike "The Mouth" Matusow. The all-in player gets a baby card and survives.

Later on, another short stack is all in. "Here comes Bubble Boy, here comes Bubble Boy, going down Bubble Boy lane," sings Matusow. That short stack also survives, and hand-for-hand play continues.
