How can $(\ln n)^4 < n$?

I'm reading a paper about Randomized Rumor Spreading. The paper uses a push&pull scheme to send messages in a graph. I'm confused about the startup phase: how can there be at least $(\ln n)^4$ informed players if the total number of players is $n$, since the total number of players is smaller than $(\ln n)^4$ when $n$ is large?
