The Grid 031 ft. Darren Elias – Ace-Eight Suited

Four-time World Poker Tour Champion Darren Elias steps into the GRID to talk about a fascinating hand he played with ace-eight suited. In a first for the show, Darren’s opponent was an AI, Pluribus, as developed by Carnegie Mellon and Facebook to beat six max No-Limit Hold Em. The AI made an aggressive but low frequency play on the flop, which led to tough decision points for Darren on all streets. Through their hand analysis, Jen and Darren unravel his experience of playing thousands of hands against Pluribus over the summer of 2019.

Darren also gives some insight into his World Poker Tour domination, how his approach to poker has changed since becoming a dad and why he doesn’t use hand charts. Follow Darren on twitter @DarrenElias, and Hendon Mob, where he has over 7.5 million dollars in recorded cash winnings.  

Now that Darren has covered ace-eight suited, there are 138 hands remaining on thepokergrid.com
