Jens "Jeans" Kyllönen has created a thread on Twoplustwo recently to inform the community of its misadventure at the Arts Hotel in Barcelona. Jens is a poker highstakes player who saw his computer disappear, reappear and again disappear in his hotel room. When he finally recovered his computer, Windows sent him an invitation to format his computer.
In its thread, he wrote:
"For the moment, it happened the same thing to Ignat Liviu (0human) and myself. Our room key no longer worked, we redescendus at the reception of the hotel to have a new found that our laptop had disappeared, went to report it to the reception, and less than 10 minutes later, the computer had reappeared in the room. We are certainly not the only two. "Tell everyone you know in Barcelona of as player on their laptop."
Later, it creates another thread on Twoplustwo to explain how the hotel is not cooperative with him.
Basically, the facts are as follows:
Kyllonen is eliminated from EPT Barcelona Main Event and decides to return to his room. When it comes to enter, its key no longer works. He went to the reception to correct the problem. When he returned to his room, his laptop no longer. Worried, he asked the staff of House and his colleague's room if anyone has information on this subject. Both parties deny knowing anything about this case.
When he returned to his room, his laptop is returned to its place. On his laptop, a black screen Windows asks the system restore.
Later, it happens to him again the same thing. Talking with Ignat "0human0" Liviu, he realizes that it happened to him the same thing as him a few days before.
Asking security records to find out which entered his room and at what time, Jens realizes that someone entered his room 2 minutes before him.
Following this story, this journalist on hand to cover the EPT Barcelona met with Ignat Liviu. Here's what he had to say.
"I can confirm that it is well happened to me. I went to my hotel room and my key no longer worked. I went down to have a new key, and once in the room, I noticed that my computer had disappeared.
I went back to reception to tell them and back in a room, the computer had been left outside my door. It has cracked my password. I do not know what they have done more, but I'll most use it. There is certainly a person or a group of person who tries to hack into the computers of high limit players.
I believe that it happened to several players, but I had the chance to see that the computer had disappeared from the room. PokerStars security and hotel work to find the officials. I do not know what can do more".
