According to Wbaduk Yu won the final on time after a cut in the centre on move 124. Unless Hei was ready to resign anyway (it is a troublesome cut, but obviously coming) that seems a silly way to end a final (worth £47k). And Choi won by resign.

Final standings:
1. Yu Zhiying
2. Hei Jiajia
3. Choi Jung
4. Fujisawa Rina

I just change the original title of the post from 'Senko Cup' to 'Senko Cup (international)' because I notice that the domestic version of it is still ongoing (preliminary tournaments are being played).

So I was incorrect to suggest this being a 'replacement'.

I just realise that the Japanese representatives are the top 4 players from the domestic Senko tournament. Stronger players like Xie Yimin and Fujisawa Rina were out in early rounds of that tournament.
