Friedman, Kessler Butting Heads

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

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.

Another River Shove from Boudreau

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

One player was already all in on a board of {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}, and a player in middle position bet 2,000 into a small side pot. Kevin Boudreau called on the button, and a player who checked in early position made it 5,150. The bettor folded, but Boudreau called. Two checks followed the {a-Spades} turn, and a {k-Diamonds} hit the river. The first player bet 2,300, and Boudreau put him all in for 21,000 more. The player tanked it for about three minutes before folding what he said was a set of eights.

Boudreau showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a straight and took down the pot.

May Doubles Up

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

We found Olimpia May all in for 21,000 or so on a board of {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Her opponent had bet 8,000 from the cutoff, and May check-jammed in.

"I'll show you," she offered as her opponent tanked it down.

Finally, he called.

May: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}

May was ahead, but she still needed to dodge spades and threes. The {7-Clubs} was a safe river.
