The board read 
when we found Jason Mercier and David Peters engaged in the hand. Mercier checked the turn and Peters cut out a bet of 31,600. Mercier thought for a moment before announcing a raise over the top for 96,000 total. This move sent Peters deep into the tank.
After a bit of thinking, Peters reached into his stack and moved out a call. The 
hit the felt on the river and Mercier moved all in for his last 209,800. Peters thought for roughly two minutes before kicking his cards into the muck. Mercier won the pot and now sits on about 475,000.
