The second Man vs. Machine match took place on July 3-6, where a lineup of elite players from Stoxpoker.com, an internet poker training site, went head to head with the latest version of Polaris, a poker AI designed by the University of Alberta’s Computer Poker Research Group (http://poker.cs.ualberta.ca/). Polaris won with a final record of 3-2-1, and provided the CPRG with their first win over human opponents.
