Level 6

Joseph Villella: XxXx/Q♣Q♦
Matt Vengrin: XxXx/5♥5♣ - folded fourth street

Five players saw fourth street before a pair of players took control of the hand when they each paired their door card. joseph Villela bet out with his pair of queens and Matt Vengrin raised with his pair of fives.

That thinned the field to heads-up, but with action now back on Villella, he made it three bets to go. Vengrin quickly folded to send the pot across the table.
