But thats where you fall short - it was not a mistake to call the bet  - if he folds there he is a relative super short stack and faces a very very very VERY difficult time in going further - which is why he had to call - that is what pot committed means (people over-use this term and mostly in the wrong way).  Plus if he thinks he is good then the play was correct as well, just because someone shoves does not mean you are automatically beat.

Plus this was a tourney - not a cash game where the variance is much lower and so is the need for luck - why you dont play it, probably because you fear the variance and cant play around it, dont blame your lack of understanding of how to control the game (pot control, bet sizing, range reading, etc...) to it just being a luck fest.

Again, another example of you confusing luck with variance, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME

To carry on more...after I actually think about it I stand by the notion that if luck determines the outcome more in poker it would be in limit and pot limit games where more people see more streets because the bets are smaller giving luck more of a chance to prevail
