At a straight magical level, Regina (by that point) is still not quite as powerful as Cora (though close). but Cora has no heart present, so there is almost no way for Regina to defeat Cora.

Besides, there is at least a small part of Regina that always wanted to be with her Mom (no matter how much of a witch she was).

But, as Esk pointed out, it is likely that Cora grabbed him on the way out.
