Default A hypothetical WSOP: ME bubble situation

I was thinking what would happen if I got dealt a big pair at the main event as the bubble loomed and wondered what you guys would do in the same scenario..

Assumptions:

Top 600 get paid $15000 (pay scale does not increase until 500.) The tournament is down to 605 or so players.

You know within the next 5-6 hands you will get in the money.

The money means something to you. I.E., my bankroll is over 10k but below 15k. Winning 15k is a big deal to me.

Ok, so assuming this:

You have 3xbb after posting the big blind. Considering antes and the price you will pay w/ the small blind, by the time you estimate getting into the money you will be stuck with 1.5-2xbb.

Folded to the SB, who has a big stack. He puts you all in. He will do this with any two cards.

You look down at QQ. Do you call or fold to sneak into the money?
