The aria is the Elvira Arturo duet from Bellini's I Puritani. It is from Act III and it is just an excerpt of the aria.

Well, if I know the commercial you mean, it is actually not opera. (And, I haven't seen Casino.) It is from the St. Matthew's Passion by Bach. I really wonder why they picked this particular piece of music? I love it, and I really enjoy poker, but I'm not sure I see the connection... Check out this youtube video to see if this is the commercial you're talking about (the music from the Pokerstars commercial starts about 0:30). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7EtnprvVjg Here is the translation: "We sit down in tears and call to you in the grave". (Very funny, for a commercial that is supposed to entice people to gamble!)
Carmen is the name of the opera and Habanera is the song http://www.splendad.com/ads/show/2698-Bertolli-Opera
