Carnegie Mellon AI Takes On Chinese Poker Players

A version of Carnegie Mellon University’s Libratus, which in January became the first artificial intelligence to defeat top poker pros at Heads-Up, No-Limit Texas Hold’em, will play six top Chinese players for a $290,000 winner-take-all purse. The 36,000-hand exhibition featuring a different AI, named Lengpudashi or “cold poker master,” will take place April 6–10 on the island province of Hainan, China. The human players, called Team Dragons, will be led by Alan (Yue) Du, a Shanghai venture capitalist and amateur player who won the $5,000 Buy-In, No-Limit Hold’em category of the 2016 World Series of Poker.”
