I didn't realize they would need a supercomputer to do this.

  It sounds like the supercomputer was only used to train the model, which consumed ~1700 years of CPU time.

    Could i cut a few zeros off that if i trained a NN to beat drunk players online at 1am on a Friday?

      For that, you can just play the pot odds, and don't even need to model the other players very well. (The challenge is of course to find table that only have drunken humans.)

    Bridges (the supercomputer) was used to train the model, and it's also being used to power the live competition. For any that may be interested, Bridges is available at no charge for open, peer-reviewed research. It's specifically designed for nontraditional, data-intensive uses of high-performance computing. AI is a good example, as are domains that are increasingly applying AI.
