About this event

What to expect

Build an AI-powered poker bot in 90 minutes, then test its strategy across 10,000 games of no-limit Hold’em at this beginner-friendly hackathon in Liverpool.

Hosted by Kernl and powered by TechYard, All In Liverpool takes place on Friday 11 December 2026 at Central Tech. Teams of one or two will develop a bot before watching the entries compete; the bot finishing with the most chips wins. A surprise rule twist will be revealed on the night.

Participants receive an information pack in advance, including a starter bot and a way to test it, so the build window can focus on strategy rather than setup. Any AI tools are welcome.
