Miracle River for Conniff

Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ian Steinman raised on the button to 160,000 and Asher Conniff decided to shove in the big blind for a total stack worth 1,400,000. Steinman immediately called:
Asher Conniff: 4?4?
Ian Steinman: K?K?
Conniff was in desperate shape for his tournament's life and was ready to leave when the board first showed 7?A?Q?8?. However, a 4? showed up on the river to give a set of fours to Conniff to double up.
