A draw and a win in first two rounds of Alberta University project to pit poker pros against a robot called Polaris

Attracting hundreds of column inches in the mainstream press around the world this week is the unusual University of Alberta project to pit man against its Polaris poker-playing research robot.

So far the results are not exactly conclusive, with Polaris pulling a draw in the first match Monday against poker pros Phil "Unabomber" Laak and his partner Ali Eslami. Although the robot won 7 small bets, anything less than 25 small bets is considered a draw in the "tournament" rules.

In the second round, it appears that Polaris had a more convincing performance, beating both players despite a run of good cards on Laak's part.

Session 3 begins at noon Alberta time Tuesday.

Polaris is described by its university research team creators as the world's most advanced poker-playing computer program, replete with artificial intelligence (AI) and capable of 'learning' or adapting to the play of its opponents as a game develops.

Put together by an award-winning team of researchers from the University of Alberta, the robot is under extreme test in the project by putting it into contention with two highly experienced and respected poker aces, Laak and Eslami in the first real money series of matches.
