Filippi Lucky and Good?

Amnon Filippi opened the pot to 800 from the button. The small blind re-raised to 2,800 and was called by both the big blind and by Filippi. On a flop of {8-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}, the small blind bet 4,500 and only Filippi called. Action checked down from there, with the turn coming {J-Hearts} and the river falling {5-Diamonds}. Filippi showed down {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs}, besting his opponent's {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} to take the pot.

"Rather be lucky than good," Filippi's opponent said a bit derisively. Filippi is up to 50,000.
