Robot�s bluff their way to $100,000

Walking away from the poker table with 100 large in your pocket is nothing special in Sin City. But until Thursday, the gambling capital had never seen a robot do it.

Last week, six programmers converged on Binion's, the downtown casino that is the birthplace of the World Series of Poker, spurred by a winner-take-all prize of $100,000 offered GoldenPalace.com.

After three days of a popular form of poker called limit hold em� PokerProbot, written by Hilton 'Print' Givens of Lafayette, Indiana, emerged victorious, outlasting Catfish, a program written by Brian Edwards of Jacksonville, Florida.

The announcement of the competition was met with much disdain from online poker players, with many dismissing it as a cheating competition.

'I've had a lot of angry e-mail. That surprised me,' said Ken Mages, the event's creator. I don't think this will change what happens, the event might actually help online poker sites find ways to protect their customers.�
