You have half your stack invested, folding leaves you with just over 2BBs, the pot will be over 8k if you call for ~1300 more. Easy call. Sure you could run into AA/AK/KK/KQ/QQ and be a huge underdog, but there are many times more hands people will be raising with at this stage that you're ahead of (okay, there's not many of these) or are only slightly behind... even if the other guys had turned their cards face-up I'd still be insta-calling here (edit: this doesn't really have the effect it was meant to on reflection considering you would know you have live cards and the other players share aces, thus probably making the call easier).
 
 When you're playing close to the bubble you have a choice to make, and it seems you chose the "I don't care if I don't have a realistic chance of winning the thing, I just want my money back" option. In the long run it pays to play with the aim of winning the whole thing in bubble play - sure you will suffer some heartbreaking bubble bust-outs, but you'll end up with a healthy stack at the final table and a big payout quite often too.
