Capra Gets Lucky, Does Not Get Unlucky

It folded around to Peter Walsworth in the small blind, who announced all in to cover big blind Sam Capra. Capra snap-called all in for his tournament life.

Walsworth: in excellent shape with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Capra: in some trouble with {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}

"Come on! One time!" shouted Capra.

Board: {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}

"YES!" cried Capra as he doubled to 200,000; the hapless Walsworth was left with 145,000. "Problem is, I might have used up my one time now."

Capra went to chat to his supporters at the rail after that, who offered him some sage tournament advice. "You need two things. You need to get lucky, and you need to not get unlucky." Truer words were never spoken.
