When you win 7 head-up rounds,than you cant say that you were not unlucky.But ,lady luck is not the reason why Lehr won the bracelet.In poker,good player needs luck equally how it is needed by some football team in some match.Everything is about you and strategy.It is not easy to win 7 heads-up rounds,but it is really big success.Well done.
