The European Poker Tour (EPT)<\/a> is the most popular poker event for European poker players who travel from all over Europe to be a part of this event. These professional poker players are generally very wealthy and tend to spare no expense, staying at luxury hotels and spending large sums of cash to live it up. <\/p>\n A British poker player recently travelled to Malta to attend the EPT Malta<\/strong> event and used the EPT Travel details to book himself a room at the Hilton Hotel which was situated close to the casino where the EPT Malta event was being held. <\/p>\n The tariff on the room was fixed at \u20ac250 per night and extra for drink, food and entertainment. The player specifically requested for his room not to be cleaned while he was away as he had left behind close to \u20ac1,000 in cash. <\/p>\n When the player returned to his room, he found that his room had not only been cleaned but his \u20ac1,000 in cash was nowhere to be found. He searched his room carefully before deciding to raise a complaint to the management who were unable to provide him with a lot of assistance and he was told to inform the local authorities. He then contacted the EPT Travel website<\/a> and registered a complaint and another meeting with the security manager was set up but the result was just the same. The poker player has now lost \u20ac1,000 in cash and has no hopes of recovering the money.<\/p>\n
