The $25,000 3-Day High Roller at the 2018 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure drew a total of 142 entries from 99 unique players, but just eight remain in contention for the title and $836,350 top prize. Leading the way is Jonathan Jaffe, who will take a massive 2,143,000-chip stack out of the bag when Day 3 begins at noon local time at the ultra-luxe Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island, Bahamas.
