Chip and a chair

People say ICM overvalues small stacks. But here it clearly undervalues mine.

On a tough bubble, I've watched the bigstacks walk Ef the Champ maybe a dozen times. I've had to scrap and claw to stay in it.

After this hand, I'm down and out:

60 chips and I'm about to pay my blinds. So I'm gone right?

Well, when the SB turned over QQ against my 74, it sure looked like it, but check out the board that ran out:

[Th 9d 4s 8c] [4d]

Then I double up again and again and again, until:
