One thing to support this is the idea that there doesn't seem to be much more to differentiate a winner and a loser at the WSOP than randomness. Among the best players, they are likely so close in skill that winning and event is determined by a slightly weighted coin toss. The other side is that if AI could discover some elements of lie detection that even humans cannot observe. It may not have anything to do with the power of the AI's computing, but more that its hardware can observe outside stimuli that humans cannot, and the AI may be able to integrate it into its strategy (e.g. a facial twitch that cannot even be seen by the naked eye).
