I watched that, and I think his understanding of what a "statistical tie" is is extremely dodgy (https://youtu.be/gz9FJfe2YGE?t=10m43s). What's up with that?
Edit: he does make a good point later on that playing thousands of games is exhausting, which would affect the reliability of the comparison between the AI and the pros. I don't know anything about poker, but it sounds plausible. Presumably this means they should make the AI so good that it can demonstrate its greatness quicker than a human gets tired.
