The action folded around to Gloria Balding who raised to 300 before the flop; her opponent in the hijack position called and the others got out of the way before the dealer spread the flop of {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

Both players checked, then Balding led out for 650 on the turn of the {5-Clubs}. Her opponent wanted no part of it and Balding picked up the pot to move her stack up to more than 3,000.
