The abstract claims they beat the "strongest openly available agent in heads-up no-limit Texas hold'em poker". To a non-expert that certainly sounds like they're claiming to be the best

"Openly available" is a strong constraint that's mentioned explicitly.

As noted before, the reason for including old tech is to look better. Why not mention the current state of the art and show that with a general player we can come close to this results?

This is just benchmark cherry picking and does not reflect real performance or comparison.
