Ali Eslami and Phil Laak were each playing against the Mr. Pink version of Polaris. At this point, the competitors were notted up with a draw in session one, Polaris winning session two, and Phil and Ali winning session three. Ali played an inspiring session of poker against Polaris and led the way for the humans to score a come-from-behind victory in the championship.

It is worth noting that the overall outcome of the match was not statistically significant. Despite our best efforts with the duplicate match format, there was still plenty of variance which means we really could have used more hands of play. Still, it was an exciting match, and we look forward to doing it again!
