Vanessa Rousso to release a single
We round-up some stories you may have missed including a rare final table for Fedor Holz and humanity is getting crushed by AI.
Vanessa Rousso to release a song
The talents of poker pros outside of the game shows no bounds as former PokerStars Pro, turned Big Brother contestant, turned DJ, Vanessa Rousso is set to release a single.
Along with her girlfriend Melissa Ouellet she has formed a duo called 'N1TEL1TE' and is set to release a track called 'Kiss Face' on February 5 (Possibly because 'Poker Face' was unfortunately already taken).
It looks like it is all music from here on out for Rousso, as she told PokerCentral that taking other people’s money to earn a living was bad for her soul and instead she wanted to use music to "bring positivity to others".
Fedor makes another final
It's been a tough year for retiree Fedor Holz who has had to wait a whole 24 days in 2017 before he made a Super High Roller final table.
He is 2nd in chips in the AUD$100,000 Aussie Millions Challenge with seven players left, alongside big names like Mike Watson, David Peters and Sam Trickett.
Only three players make the money with AUD$882,000 going to Fedor, I mean whoever wins.
The final table resumes on Saturday to give everyone a chance to play in the Aussie Millions Main Event.
Humans need a miracle against the machine
Get ready for a lot of mainstream media attention on poker as it now looks inevitable that the team of four poker professionals are going to lose to Libratus, the Carnegie Mellon Artificial Intelligence bot.
With 71,512 of the scheduled 120,000 hands played, Libratus is crushing humanity by $701,242 virtual dollars, which was won in $50/100 heads-up matches.
We all have to get behind Dong Kim, who is the only human currently beating Libratus, as he is up $41,685. Everyone else is losing to the tune of six figures:
