Friedman and Kessler Deepen Their Friendship

Level 4

Shortly after what seemed like a friendly confrontation, Alan Kessler was moved from the table he had shared with Adam Friedman.

"Go charm your next table," Friedman jibed.

Kessler replied as he racked up his chips, "You're going to get a good late reg player here now. That's a bad beat."

After Kessler was gone Friedman assured his tablemates, "I'm the only one he doesn't get mad at."
