"Better to Be Lucky Than Good" for Billard

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in middle position bet 3,300 and got two callers on a board of {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and Francois Billard woke up with a big raise to 18,000 in the big blind. The bettor folded, a player on the button called, and the small blind mucked. On the {3-Clubs} river, Billard thought until he had a few seconds left and shoved all in. It was 31,200, and eventually, the player on the button called.

Billard opened {7-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a straight. His opponent had {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

"I got lucky," he said. "Better lucky than good."
