Does anyone know who pays for any amounts ABOVE the Gas Limit set by the initiator of an ETH transaction?

The following info is from https://etherscan.io
Screen Shot 2017-07-06 at 5.44.33 PM.png

Gas Limit: 52273
Gas Price: 0.00000001 Ether (10 Gwei)
Gas Used By Txn: 52272
Actual Tx Cost/Fee: 0.00052272 Ether ($0.14)
Cumulative Gas Used: 679156

If I'm understanding correctly, the cap on the fees were reached for the transaction, however, the Cumulative Gas Used is more than 10x this!

Any ideas???
