Number 31 ("Play poker well enough to win the World Series of Poker.") is a pretty empty statement, as 1 tournament does not reflect your skill at poker at all. Short term variance is too big of a factor when it comes to one 1 tournament result.

Well, in 2016 there were 6737 entrants [0], so I suppose the AI needs to have all its stars aligned or some other connection to god to win it without being good.

Biggest problems are usually not winning heads-up but meaningfully sampling the state space with more than a handful of players + accounting for the "no limit" part.
