[BC Card Cup] Semi Final: Gu Li faces Lee Sedol!
Gu Li 9P of China became the other finalist of the 3rd BC Card Cup. In the semifinal game, he defeated Heo Youngho 8P of Korea by resignation.
The commentator, Song Taegon 9P, said that White 42 was a mistake, so the game was favorable for Black from that time. In the middle game, an exchange happened. Black took territories on lower side and gave his group on the right side. However, Black 169 was not enough to cover Black's loss. Black found his bad situation and tried to change it, but he finally resigned.
