"This Guy's a Money Bubble Legend!"

Jared Bleznick raised to 11,000 from middle position, Matt Giannetti called from the cutoff, Lasell King called from the button, and it folded to Jamie Pickering in the big blind who checked his cards, looked over his small stack — the smallest of the remaining 46 players at the moment — and called as well.
The flop came 
. Pickering checked, Bleznick bet 6,000, and both Giannetti and King folded. Pickering again studied the situation, and again he called, this time leaving himself but 5,500 behind.
Bleznick expressed amazement at Pickering hanging on to his final chips, and after the 
fell on the turn and Bleznick set out chips to bet. The action was back on the Australian.
Pickering — who once finished second in a WSOP PLO event (the $1,500 event won by Vanessa Selbst in 2008) — hemmed and hawed a bit, then finally decided to fold his hand face up — 
.
The table all laughed and Bleznick continued to express awe at Pickering, then the latter reminded him about the pair having played a tournament before and Bleznick immediately launched into a story of Pickering folding 
on the bubble of a previous PLO tourney they'd played.
"This guy's a money bubble legend!" cried Bleznick.
It looks like Pickering folded his small blind on the next hand, meaning he has just 3,000 left and a whole orbit's worth of hands still to look for a spot to avoid becoming the 46th-place finisher.
