"Better to Be Lucky Than Good"

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
James Gallagher
James Gallagher

James Gallagher opened for 3,700 from middle position and the player in the small blind raised all in for 44,200. Gallagher thought long and hard before spiking in a call.

James Gallagher: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Small Blind: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

"Ten ball," Gallagher said upon seeing he was way behind.

The dealer did not oblige on the {2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop nor {q-Clubs} turn, but did deliver the two outer on the river when the {10-Diamonds} spiked.

Gallagher winced knowing the bad beat he just delivered. As he was pushed the pot he quipped, "It's better to be lucky than good."
