Luke Hammond is the one British player left in the Far East, and as Matt commented in last week's thread, is in a loaded G2. It's uncommon to have a top 10 ranked player in a G2, but this has 2, since Korea has two players who were ranked 3 and 4 last week. If Luke wins his opener he is likely to face one of them, Y...
