A rare maximum break was seen at the World Snooker Championships – Neil Robertson only became the eighth player in history to achieve the snooker’s dream

The main series of the Snooker World Cup has been played at the Crucible Theater in Sheffield, England since 1977, and in 45 years at the legendary theater, only a few players have reached the most prestigious single percussion series of the sport, a 147-point maximum break.

In the maximum hole, the player always packs a black ball with 15 red balls, which rises back on the table as long as there are red ones left. After 15 red and 15 black balls, the player must bag all the colored balls from the lowest to the highest.

Australian Neil Robertson reached that performance only on Monday at the Crucible Theater on Monday. Robertson, who was the number one favorite in the tournament, scored 147 points in the semi-finals of the England Jack Lisowski against. The maximum was seen in the 19th round of the match.

Canada Cliff Thorburn made his first maximum break at the Crucible Theater in 1983. In the previous stunt, the Scot succeeded John Higgins in 2020.

In English Ronnie O’Sullivanilla and Scots With Stephen Hendry is the most-scoring 147-point batting series in the main event of the World Cup. Both have been successful three times.

For 40-year-old Robertson, the maximum was in his Fifth Professional Tournament. In all, a total of 176 maxima have been made in the professional history of snooker, of which O’Sullivan has made the most, 15 pieces.

In the name of O’Sullivan is also the fastest maximum break in history seen at the 1997 World Cup. It only took five minutes and 20 seconds to break.
