AI just won a poker tournament against professional players

An AI just claimed another gaming victory over humans by winning a 20-day poker tournament. The AI, called Libratus, took on four of the world's best Heads-Up No-Limit Texas Hold'Em poker players at a Pennsylvania casino. After 120,000 hands, Libratus won with a lead of over $1.7 million in chips. "I'm feeling great," says Tuomas Sandholm, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University who was part of the team that created the AI. "This is a David versus Goliath story, and Libratus was able to throw a pebble."
