From wikipedia:
"Sections 2 and 3 of Rule VII (Morning Business) of the Standing Rules of the Senate outline the procedure for bringing motions to the floor of the Senate. Under these rules, "no motion to proceed to the consideration of any bill...shall be entertained...unless by unanimous consent". "
Therefore a senator can place a hold on the debate of a bill which means the bill cannot be voted on until after a debate.
In order to stop a filibuster or a hold the senate needs 16 senators to request "cloture" which requires a positive vote from 3/5ths of the senators. Unfortunately, a cloture vote takes two business days to occur.
