Jackson Page fired in his first ever 147 break during his third round Halo World Championship Qualifying match at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield.
The Welsh 23-year-old crafted a perfect break in the eighth frame against Allan Taylor to blitz to a 7-1 lead. His previous best break was a run of 142 in last year’s World Championship.
It puts Page in line for a £10,000 bonus on offer for maximum breaks made at Crucible qualifying and places him in pole position for the £15,000 high break prize for the entire event. If Page can conjure another perfect run during the tournament, he will receive an eye watering £147,000.
There have now been 13 maximum breaks this season, which equals the record first set in 16/17 and equalled in 22/23 and 23/24. It is the 215th official 147 in snooker history.
