Since 2009, the $25,000 High Roller has been a staple on the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure schedule and one of the biggest, most exciting events of the year. The only previous year this event didn't see an increase in the field size was in 2012, when the 148 entries generated were three less than the 151 from the year prior. Still, maintaining just about the same field size proved for a very solid turnout.
