How Julio Zedillo peeked at his opponent’s cards

American poker players highlight a gambling establishment like Hustler Casino. It is located in a city called Gardena, California. The place is known for frequent live poker games, which are recorded on camera and later published on YouTube. However, cameras recorded an outrageous incident which provoked a major scandal.

Details of what happened

Traditionally, the casino’s YouTube channel has had around 100,000 views per month. The most recent event, however, has taken place in five days. Our specialized poker forum seemed to have had more than 400 messages about the casino. The “star” of the video was poker player Julio Cedillo, who was accused of cheating.

One comedy show producer, Barry Wallace, also took part in the bout. He turned out to be a “victim” of the dishonest Julio. Interestingly, no one even knew about Zedillo until now, but Wallace was a local celebrity due to his generous tips.

The dissatisfaction of the spectators was due to the fact that Julio was making “exciting” giveaways. Thus, he knew his opponent’s cards. He accompanied each hand with a certain action, providing an opportunity for a sneak peek.

Fraudulent deals

The first suspicious hand came to the attention of a blogger named Alex Duval. It was taking place when it was already the 5th hour of the game. Sitting to the right of Julio, a certain blogger SoFlo Antonio, was the first to flip into the pot. Cedillo himself made a call, which Wallace repeated. The pot was raised to more than $3,600.

As things progressed, Wallace got an interesting layout, given his play decisions as well. Eventually, Barry and Julio miss the bidding, and then the second one hits SoFlo Antonio’s leg under the table. Everyone starts a discussion on the leg kick part, but Cedillo denies it, saying it wasn’t him. He then looks at his cards and announces a pass, surprising all the spectators and commentators.

Already on the river the former blogger goes all-in and Barry decides to call. Immediately afterwards Wallace gets up from the table, admonishing Julio and his friend, Cedillo even caught up with him, showing what cards he was holding.

It wasn’t even 10 minutes before the second hand went in and Julio again distinguished himself. Barry opens with a 10-6 and Cedillo with a Q-3. The dealer deals a 10-J-K on the flop and Julio bets $800. He ends up getting a call and reports an all-in of almost $10,000 before the turn card is dealt.

Upon receiving an eight on the turn, Barry discards his cards, and Julio, with a slight sneer, shows his flush. There was surprise from both Barry and again from the commentators and onlookers, who were shocked. Cedillo’s antics had already frankly begun to stress the players and those watching, causing a wave of negativity online. He threw out two more similar antics.

The outcome is quite interesting. Julio hasn’t really broken any rules, but peeping into opponents’ cards is frowned upon in poker circles. He is therefore no longer allowed to play at the establishment.
