Friedman, Kessler Butting Heads

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

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.

Friedman Busts Kessler

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Shortly after exchanging words with Allen Kessler, Adam Friedman got the final word in and busted him (Friedman said the two had dinner together on break, for the record).

Kessler opened for 2,500 in the cutoff, leaving himself about 6,000 behind, and Friedman made the call in the big blind. On the {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop, Friedman check-called Kessler's shove with {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for top pair, while Kessler had {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a double-gutshot. Kessler found no improvement on the {3-Spades} turn and {6-Clubs} river, and he said he won't be reentering.

Krier Doubles Up

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Matt Krier
Matt Krier

We found Matt Krier all in with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for his last 21,000 or so against a player who had him dominated with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. The flop changed things in a hurry though, coming {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, and a {3-Hearts} turn sealed it for Krier.
