Mohsin Charania opened the pot from the hi-jack to 5,500 and was met with two callers; one from the cutoff and the big blind.
Charania fired out a continuation-bet of 12,500 on the 
flop to force a fold from the cutoff before the player in the big blind started mulling over a decision.
After roughly ninety seconds, the big blind slid out two stacks of chips amounting to a raise of 32,500, which forced a near-insta muck from Charania as he sank below the 60,000-chip mark.
