I think this is a case of Beria making his own luck. He was probably trusting too much in not being recognized as either himself or an agent of Muspelheim, as well as betting that somebody who hadn't been around 300 years ago wouldn't know the history of the building. This is fine, but he left himself with only one path to victory.

Overconfidence is a bitch.
