Libratus beat poker pros by 1.7 million in chips

In the January 2017 “Brains vs. Artificial Intelligence” competition at Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon’s Libratus played 120,000 hands of heads-up no-limit Texas Hold’em against four leading professionals. According to CMU, Libratus finished ahead by a collective 1,766,250 dollars in chips, a margin the researchers said was statistically significant and not a matter of luck.
