Is Choi Jeong going to reach round of 8? Very tough opponent......

OK, so his postilion has been struck by lightning - that I can see - but I don't get why White was talking about the Khyber Pass. You can't drive coaches through there, surely? And this is a go forum not a Carry On film, you know.

Pairing for round of 8,

Shin Minjun vs Tang Weixing
Ahn Kukhyun vs Lian Xiao
Iyama Yuuta vs Xie Erhao
Shin Jinseo vs Ke Jie

Here is the game between Ke Jie and Gu Zihao.
Very close game. I look forward to the next round. Shin Jinseo vs Ke Jie will probably very exciting as well

If Ahn loses...

It's funny how Xie Erhao has spelt doom for Iyama yet again...

Now I think about it, it could become a rivalry!

Xie Erhao has beaten Ke Jie (group stage in round of 32), Park Junghwan, and Iyama Yuta in this tournament. And now he drew Ke Jie again for a best of 3. He will certainly have earned this title if he goes all the way.

Tang Weixing simply enjoys Samsung Cup too much comparing to his performance else where. Since 2013, he has won once, placed 2nd twice, and reached semifinal two other times (including this yer).
