This comment confuses me:
"I was expecting a draw," said computer scientist Michael Littman of Rutgers University in the United States.

There are no 'draws' in poker. The article could have been more specific; they could have verified if it was No limit Texas hold'em, and if it was, was it tournament style or in the style of a cash game?

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO USEFUL INFORMATION IN THE LINKED ARTICLE!!!!

GAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

The way this tournament was set up, there could be a draw. The tournament consisted of 500 heads up hands played. The computer played each of the 500 hands as Player 1, and then again against another player as Player 2. The chips accumulated by the computer playing as Player 1 & 2 were compared against the number of chips accumulated by the real players, thereby allowing the possibility of a draw.
