Level 6
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
There’s plenty to do at Atlantis, even if you’re not playing poker. But for those with the spirit of adventure in their rum cocktail there’s a whole island waiting to be explored, although perhaps not at night… Learn more on the PokerStars Blog.
Level 6
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Players are now on a 90-minute dinner break. When they return, they'll play two more levels before bagging and tagging for the night.
"All in and a call," we heard a dealer shout.
We made our way over just in time to discover that a short-stacked Brandon Steven was all in for his last 34,400 holding 
and up against the 
of Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. It was a classic flip, but Steven needed to improve to stay alive. The 
flop wasn't helpful, and neither was the 
turn. The river was a paint card, but unfortunately for Steven it was the useless 
.
"Good luck everyone," Steven said before telling Dan Shak he may re-enter tomorrow (late registration is open up until the start of Day 2).
Meanwhile, David Benefield was eliminated up on the feature table. We're not sure of all the details, but we do know Benefield got it all in holding 
and was ahead of Antonio Esfandiari's 
. Benefield was ahead, but not after the flop delivered "The Magician" a seven. Benefield was unable to catch up and was replaced at the final table by Daniel Alaei.
Scott Seiver, Noah Schwartz, and Tom Dwan saw a flop of 
. All three players checked.
The turn was the , Dwan checked again, and Seiver tossed out 17,000. Schwartz called, Dwan check-raised to 66,000, and only Seiver called.
The river was the 
, bringing both flush and straight possibilities, and Dwan checked. Seiver moved all in for 140,600, and Dwan-check folded.
Fabian Quoss was recently eliminated by Jonathan Duhamel.
Quoss got his stack of roughly 70,000 into the middle with 
and needed to improve against Duhamel's 
to survive. The board ran out 
to send Quoss to the rail.
We didn't catch the action until the end, but we just saw Jonathan Duhamel get paid off by Greg Jensen.
It happened with the board reading 
and about 50,000 in the pot. Duhamel had just checked from the small blind and Jensen fired out 20,000 from the big. Duhamel then sprung to life with a check-raise to 66,000, and Jensen thought for about a minute before making the call. Duhamel then revealed 
for a full house, which was good as Jensen sent his cards to the muck.
Little is known of Jensen other than the fact that he's an investment banker who flew to the Bahamas on a private jet with his wife to play a little poker. Rumor around the Atlantis is that his wife has intentions of playing the Women's Event and possibly the $10,000 PCA Main Event.
At the feature table, Phil Ivey has just doubled through David Benefield.
Our access is limited, but the board read 
. Ivey was all in for 69,800 and Benefield called with . Ivey tabled 
and held through the 
river.
Level 6
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
It's not just the stakes that are raised in the $100,000 Super High Rollers, it's the level of conversation: murder, virtual worlds and buckets.
