White dies


Dieter: Correct. White has a six point big eye, but in the corner it is not a big eye anymore. After capturing five stones, the eyeshape is not a five point big eye (8 liberties) but just 4 liberties (see Big eyes can be small in the corner). So White has 4 liberties less than usual. Black has five liberties. Eye against no eye: no seki. White is dead.
