With Day 2 of the $25,000 Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship at the 2023 World Series of Poker currently in motion, PokerNews thought it'd be a fun idea to ask the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT to predict the outcome of the event.

From the original field of 64, just 16 players made it through to Day 2, where the Round of 16 and Quarter Finals will play out on the WSOP felt.

Among those who fell by the wayside in the first session included Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu and 2022 WSOP Main Event champion Espen Jorstad, while the likes of Doug Polk, Chris Brewer and Chance Kornuth all managed to navigate through the first two rounds successfully.

So, we inputted the matchups into ChatGPT to see how it thinks the Heads Up Championship will play out. It produced many hypothetical eye-catching confrontations while also thinking that a certain someone would pick up their fourth WSOP bracelet.
