Near perfect massive bubble

When you play a sit and go, only one place qualifies as the bubble. It's the first place which doesn't make the money. When you play an MTT, however, there are so many more players that a range of places could be considered to qualify as the bubble. With that understanding, a perfect MTT bubble would be the first place which doesn't make the money. In my MTT career, I've only had one perfect MTT bubble; 42 places were paid, and I came in 43th. If it's hard to have a perfect MTT bubble, it's even harder to have a perfect massive bubble. Last night, I nearly had one in the second massive I played. 162 places were paid, and I came in 167th.
