The match took place in January 2017, and the bot, Libratus, was developed by Professor Tuomas Sandholm and his PhD student Noam Brown. The bot played against four professional poker players: Jason "PremiumWhey" Les, Dong "Donger Kim" Kim, Jimmy "ForTheSwaRm" Chou, and Daniel "dougiedan678" McOlay.
The total prize pool for the players was $200,000, with the bot winning 1,766,250 chips, almost 90 stacks, with a win rate of 14.7 bb/100.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype.
