147!!!!!!!!

[TheStranger]

ah right, i wanted to see if Ronnie had any reason to go for another one

He's personally sponsored by 888.com, right? Maybe they'll make up the difference if he can get another one

[zombieman]

It's here from 104 on to the final black.

Thank you for the link, zombieman!

I'm absolutely delighted for Ali ... he's been an underated player and he's such a nice guy! Brilliant!

Ali carter is comming of age this week and im delighted for him well done mate.....

everyone knows how good ali carter was as a player.....he lacked bottle and the killer punch......but the way he disposed of murphy showed he could get there a little later in life than most.....

[Kathrin]

Is it right that Ali is the first who made a maximum without having previously won a tournament? It´s written on wikipedia, but I don´t believe everything on there

[Bruce]

Well done Ali!

So if Ronnie were to make another, would he get two-thirds of the prize money?

Seems only fair. He had his heart set on that Bentley.

Ronnie said he was going to insure against someone else making a 147. Hope he got it arranged in time!

Andrew Higginson hasn't won a tournament but has a 147. Nick Dyson has two 147s with no win either. Never trust wiki.

How bizarre is this - on the bus home at 8pm tonight I was leafing through this year's programme and was reading bits about Carter "he hopes to swap 147s for 747s soon as he qualifies as a commercial pilot" and I looked at his high break and though "but he isn;t swapping 147s for 747s cos he's never made one and then a couple of hours later this happens! Ali and ronnie used to be practise partners as well, so it's all very neat

[Alex0paul]

Probably the hardest black potted to complete a 147. Wonder if Carter gets called a Genius and a magician for that 147, I doubt it. Really delighted with how much it meant to him and a great celebration

I was joking April! You do not remember Ronnie got a 147 against Ali a couple of months ago? You do not find it a bit funny? At least Ali is getting a decent enough pay-back this time!

Oh well, how about Ali making another against Ronnie in the final? That would make some sense

[Rane]

I was also impressed to see how Ebdon celebrated the 147 almost as if it was himself who had done it. I guess he must have been a little disappointed though.

[hegeland]

Yes, Ebdon is a real gentleman and a true sport. He was obviously genuinely happy for Carter, which was nice to see.

Especally considering how he missed out on one himself just minutes before.

[shaftyou]

What is going on in Sheffield? That's a record, first time there have been two maximums in the same tournament.


Fantastic break it was, and look how happy he was! No wonder, this was his first 147!

Actually, there was 2 in the 2000 Regal Scottish open, Maguire in the qualifying round, and O'Sullivan at the final stages.
It was made in the same arena with just a few days between them (so its not like those where someone makes one in the qualifiers, and then someone knocks one on a few months later in the final stages)
