The poker world is about to find out if men are stronger than machines when it comes to playing no-limit Texas hold'em, as four professional poker players are putting their games to the test in a two-week heads-up battle against "Claudico", a poker bot whose artificial intelligence (AI) was developed by a computer science team at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
Doug Polk, Dong Kim, Bjorn Li, and Jason Les will each play for a chance to win $100,000 if they can best "Claudico" over 20,000 hands from April 24 to May 7 at Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh.
