With the second round of the 14th Samsung Cup wrapping up tomorrow, we thought we'd take a second and update you all on what's happened so far!
The Samsung Cup is hosted by Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, the Korean Baduk Club and Unitel. If you have a chance, make sure to support these guys so the Samsung keeps up for many years to come!
So far in the second round, Japan has managed to keep a flagship pro in Yamashita Keigo [9p]. Yamashita won by resign against fellow Japanese pro Yuki Satoshi [9p]. Japan entered only three pros this year, with only Yamashita going without a loss thus far, and Hane Naoki already eliminated. Yuke Satoshi [9p] will be playing Qiu Jun [8p] tomorrow after losing to Yamashita today.
Other crowd favorites Chang Hao [9p], Lee Changho [9p], and Choi Chelhan [9p] have all advanced without loss to the third round. Chang and Lee beat other familiar faces in Park Yeonghun [9p] and Kong Jie [9p] respectively.
Lesser known advancees include Zhou Ruiyang [5p], Zhou Heyang [9p], Liu Xing [7p] and Wang Yao [6p].
We're wishing them all luck, though we biasedly hope for some more incredible showing from our favorites.
Tomorrow you can be looking forward to matches from Cho Hunyun [9p], Gu Li [9p], Kong Jie [9p], and Park Yeonghun, among other incredible players!
For now, why not enjoy these two games from today?
