Better To Be Lucky Than Good

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Willliam Arruda bet 100,000 into a pot of the same size, heads up with Peter Akery, holding a stack of the same size, on a {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board to the turn.

Akery agonized over the decision for a a good while and eventually called with the {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}. Arruda had the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}, and had to feel like he was about to make some big strides up the chip count board.

However, it was a case of just enough outs for Akery, and he spiked one, nailing the {k-Diamonds} river to make trips, double up and leave Arruda quite short.
