The flop read {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, John Carlo Sayo bet 11,500 from the hijack into a pot around 21,000 and Annie Bordallo raised to 31,500. Sayo moved all in for 52,400 in total and Bordallo made the call.

Meneleo Gloria: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Annie Bardallo: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Gloria's bullets secured the pot, sending Bardallo and her cowboys to the rail.
