Australian snooker champion Neil Robertson nailed an ultra-rare perfect break at Sheffield’s famous theatre The Crucible.
It was during day 10 of the World Snooker Championship when the Aussie scored a 147 off the break against Jack Lisowski.
His thrilling 147 was only the 12th time the feat has been achieved at The Crucible, and the fifth time Robertson has done it in his career.

A maximum break means the player sinks all 15 red balls, 15 blacks, and then the six coloured balls all from the break. It’s the best possible frame a snooker player can achieve.

Unfortunately, Robertson still lost the match 13-12 to Lisowski.
“It just tops the season off because it’s on everyone’s bucket list to make a 147 at the Crucible, and my mum was in the crowd as well,” Robertson said afterwards.
“The season I’ve had has been the season of absolute dreams. But Jack played the match of his life.
“It was an incredible match and it was played in the right way. I’ve got nothing but praise for Jack because he really just handled himself really well.”
