Skillsrocks on Hustler Casino Live

Cedillo was active and engaged in prop bets during his first appearance. He made his debut on Hustler Casino Live in October 2021, during the 62nd episode. Skillsrocks competed in $10/20 + $20 BB Ante No Limit Hold’em against well-known poker players including Nick Vertucci, Victor, Josh Macciello, and others. He ended the night up $9k.

In Episode 122 in February 2022, he made his second and final appearance. The featured game was a $10/$20/$40 No-Limit Hold’em game with buy-ins ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. Cedillo was one of two players who brought in for the max, the other being Barry Wallace. He was one of the night’s big winners by the end of the stream, having profited more than $11.4K from his initial $10,000 buy-in.

Hustler Casino Banned SkillsRocks After Cheating Controversy

Julio “Skillsrocks” Cedillo has been barred from participating in the Hustler Casino Live cash game stream due to allegations of cheating. Cedillo looked over and saw his opponent’s cards on several occasions. Barry Wallace was sitting directly to Cedillo’s left. He made unusual moves that almost always benefited him. Hustler Casino Live’s Nick Vertucci and Ryan Feldman quickly released a joint statement on Twitter saying that they will not tolerate Cedillo’s “highly unethical” behavior and have banned him from both the show and Hustler Casino in general. Skillsrocks admitted he saw some cards, but claims that it was not against the rules.

Conclusion

Julio Cedillo got his poker career off to a good start by winning his first two live cash games at HCL. He was taught a lesson, however, when the management of Hustler Casino Live took action and banned him from the show following his cheating allegations. It was unfortunate what happened to Skillsrocks, but HCL did the right thing by not tolerating this highly unethical behavior. He hasn’t appeared on any televised poker since, and no one knows where he is now.
