Bubble hand

4 players left in a SNG.  3 paid. 
 
I'm in the BB with ~2500 chips.
 
UTG (cutoff) shoves 1500 chips in.
Button calls.  he has about 6000 chips to start the hand.  He's been rather aggro, shoving his big stack in on numerous occasions.  The call here makes me think there's some weakness. 
SB overshoves for about 3500.
 
I look down at KK.
 
Call or Fold?
 
There are two hands I'd ever consider calling with here and I have one of them.

Call, you are in a no-lose situation - your starting stack is not the smallest stack, so the worst that can happen is a 3rd place (in the money) finish.

I think its a clear fold..... but I follow your twitter feed and know what happens.

Yeah, I called. The big stack who called the shorty's shove folded.

Shorty: J7dd
SB: QQ
Me: KK

Shorty flopped a gutter, turned it. I took the sidepot over QQ. In hindsight, I think this is a bitter, teeth-grinding fold.
