I think most people would consider it unlucky to run a huge stack into another huge stack on Day 4 of the WSOP main event and lose with AA vs KK.  Obviously 20% equity isn't like hitting a 1 outter but this is just an example to show that two players of equal skill level could have drastically different results based on a single hand holding up.  If your AA holds up maybe you coast on to win 2 million while if it doesn't you are -$10,000.  Furthermore, you may only get a hand full of opportunities in a poker career to get it in with millions on the line with 80% or more equity.  I think you're making my point by recognizing how easy it is to lose in those situations.  If you are unlucky enough that those happen to be the largest pots or the largest tournaments it has a profound impact on your bottom line no matter how good you play.  To discount it as not a big deal that one guy gets to be a millionaire and the other of equal skill maybe makes 100k for the year seems silly.  That doesn't mean you can't win or be successful without luck but I think you should still recognize the impact it can have.
