Our PokerNews contest winner Jimmy Schmotzer has arrived and says he's "nerv-excited (nervous and excited)" ahead of his opening round at 12:20pm.

Jimmy is actually competing in the same round as his wife, who qualified via POP! Slots, and says "my number one goal is just to beat my wife!"

Irrespective of how his round goes Jimmy plans to hit up the lazy river later here at Atlantis and check out the dolphins, so it's going to be a good day regardless.

While we're not biased here at PokerNews you might forgive us for saying, good luck Jimmy!
