In the U.S. ended a two-week tournament no limit Texas hold'em, in which the four best players in the world were opposed by the best computer simulator program Claudico. The result of the tournament was for humanity encouraging: in the bitter fight, the people took precedence over artificial intelligence and has won nearly $733 thousand.

the People and the program competed daily from 11 am to 10 PM. Only took about 80 thousand hands. Three players finished the match with a win 529, 213 and 70 thousand dollars, and one with a loss of $80 thousand. The total winning "team of people" amounted to $732 713. However, if we consider that the amount of the rates was $170 million, for the sake of justice it is worth noting that the actual result of the confrontation was a statistical dead heat.

based Claudico are proprietary algorithms, and behavioral experience of the players-experts. These algorithms are run on a supercomputer, and in the case of a two-week tournament files with the strategy Claudico took about two terabytes. All participants of the competition (excluding computer software), the Microsoft Research lab and the school Rivers Casino, which hosted the game, has allocated a bonus of $100,000.
