I've never heard of any of these professionals, I want to see it beat Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan.

Doug Polk and his friends (Jason Les, Dong Kim) are amoung the best HU poker players of the world. They beat Ivey and Dwan.
Now AI beat the best poker player on HU (2 players). It was just a question of time.

We are waiting for AI to move to 6-max poker and to beat some of the best players (like OTB Red Baron). But it'll be more difficult to reach the Nash equilibrium (game theory) with 6 players than it was for 2.

It seems that poker has finally fallen the next victim to insatiable and unstoppable AI, after chess and go world champions were defeated in the past. Poker seems to have been a more difficult problem for AI to solve that the games mentioned, primarily due to hidden information as well as bluffing, but now it's over for human beings. An AI developed by researchers was successful in defeating top professionals at No-limit Texas Hold’em, which is thought to be one of the most challenging types of poker. If anyone is interested who played for mankind, the players were Jason Les, Dong Kim, Daniel McCauley and Jimmy Chou, though I'm not sure if these names are telling you anything.

Here're the links to the popular-science article and actual article in Science magazine.

I am not surprised with this, as humans even professionals will feel emotion.

Also poker players study their opponents mannerism and movement but with if their rival is an AI they will only rely on their risk management.

I think it was only a matter of time. The development in AI in the past years was overwhelming but this is only the beginning. Imagine where we will be in 10-20 years?! There will possibly an AI for almost every task we can imagine... these are exciting times! Shocked
