Thanks for the link...I must say, when I hear Ronnie does this, the anticipation I have in seeing the video is a great feeling. I know there is still pure joy and happiness in watching a cue sport performed as art, and watching a Ronnie 147 is just that.
I gotta go get a coffee and settle in and savour every second.
So, you just made my day, friend. Again, thanks for the link. :thumbup:
i think....that's was 30 000 pounds for the maximum and a pending 70 000 if it remains the unshared high break
so likely $140 000 us dollars for that one frame, and his first round loss, lol

Too bad Ronnie now has to share with Bingham who also hit 147
The World later this month will be a cracker with a number of them hitting form.
A young (23) guy named Elliot Slessor. He was ranked 73rd. He played reasonably well in the part of the match I watched. They were both making mistakes. Well, except for Ronnie's 7 minutes.
Actually $59,000 (35,000 pounds + 7,000 pounds (not 70,000).
Actually half of 59k usd as Stuart Bingham ran 147 the very next day so Ronnie and Stuart split two-ways
Its the second time this happened to Ronnie, about 8 years back Ronnie ran 147 at World Championships and few days later Ali Carter did the same :grin::grin::grin:
Here's the second one by Stuart Bingham...

If any more happens, Ronnie might say "Just buy me a coffee and call it even."
Reading it was Ronnie's 14th 147 really surprised me. Thought the number would have been much higher. What is the record for total 147's in a career and who holds it? Thanks in advance.

Thanks M.G. Although I have deep respect for the game of Snooker and the top players, I know virtually nothing about the game. Never played a frame. Thank you for the quick answer. Ronnie O'Sullivan for President! Doubt if he would do worse

Those are 147s in match play, Lyn.
Willie Thorne must have the most 147s...over 200 possibly (lost track)...
...but only one in match play, I think.
Cliff Thorburn had 54 when he turned 54 years old.
The Rocket could've had 15 maxes in match play by now...got a little steam for this one..

Surely you're joking. Neither one of those guys could carry RO's cue-case. "200" max. breaks? Whatever. Is it still April 1st??
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Leicester cueman became known as ‘The Maximum Man’ having, he claims, made more 147s in practice than any other player, including one with both legs in plaster! But he has only made one in tournament play, at the 1987 UK Championship.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1993, Willie was credited with 146 maximums..but only one in match play.
Cliff Thorburn almost ran three in a row at a room in Toronto....on a 6x12 Gold Crown...
...147, 15 reds, missed the yellow, 147...I think he has had two in match play.
"Claims" and "was credited". By WHO??? Any witnesses?? If that's the evidence then hell, i ran 65 racks of ten-ball last week. Who's to deny it. Cliff could REALLY play. My friend Gerry Watson told me he pocketed balls like few others have.

That's why competition performance decides the record. There are several sorts of practice records, such as various runs of 30 or more at 3 cushion and Cranfield's practice run of 768 at straight pool, but that is just a single number at a single time and easy to remember. Cumulative records like maximums in practice at snooker or my runs over 15 at straight pool are less likely to be accurate and depend a lot on practice regimen.
