The long wait is finally over as the 2014 WSOP is under way in Las Vegas (the first bracelet winner should be announced shortly here on the news section)! Unfortunately, some poker pros onsite have had a nightmare start to the increadible tournament series as laptops, cash and other items have been stolen from their rooms at the Rio All-Suite Las Vegas Hotel in the past 2-3 days.
With "EPT Barcelona again?" Personen is referring to the players whose laptops mysteriously disappeared and reappeared in their hotel rooms at Hotel Arts during the 2013 EPT Barcelona. Finnish high stakes pro Jens "Jeans" Kyllonen was one of the victims, and he later found out that a Remove Access Trojan (RAT) had been installed via a USB port on his laptop. In other words, they were probably going to cheat him (and other victims/poker players) of money at the poker tables.
However, the attempted frauds at the 2013 EPT Barcelona are most probably not related to what's going on at Rio, given that no laptops have been returned yet, plus other items have been stolen as well.
