Did he have A7? I thought he had A3.... Yeah, I'm pretty sure his kicker was the undercard to the straight and he needed a 7 to split. He was drawing pretty slim.
I couldn't have folded to the turn raise (reraise?), but I wouldn't have pushed in over the top either. That was a good spot to just call. On the river, he could call a reasonable bet and at least have SOME chips left or he could fold if he didn't imporve and still be in decent shape.
Keep in mind though, this is from an outsider's point of view. It was something like 6 or 7 AM when this happened and this was after 8ish full days of poker. While I don't think it was the best play, I certainly can't fault him for making the play he made, especially considering the circumstances.
