Adam Friedman and Allen Kessler are exchanging a few mild words, as they were recently seated at the same table in the corner of the room after Kessler's table broke. From the sound of things, Friedman took issue with some comments Kessler made on the live stream of the final table of Mid-States Poker Tour Firekeepers, where Friedman finished third for $45,000.
"You kept calling him the best player at the table," an irked Friedman said. "You know how many times he shoved all in? Like fifteen times. I was all in twice."
Kessler defended himself, saying the player in question made some really good calls, and the two ended the discussion after Friedman dragged a pot.
