Jackson Page has made history and earned himself an enormous bonus by becoming the first player to make two maximum 147 breaks in the same match.
The Welshman produced the perfect frame twice in his 10-2 win over Allan Taylor in World Championship qualifying in Sheffield.
The feat has never been achieved twice in the same match before, so the 23-year-old has written himself into the record books on that front.
He has also guaranteed that World Snooker Tour will write him a big cheque as he has landed a bonus of £147,000.
The huge prize was on offer to a player who makes two 147s over the three Triple Crown events and the Saudi Arabia Masters this season.
Page came to Sheffield without a maximum in his career, but has now made two in the same match and won the massive prize.
He also guarantees himself at least a share of the tournament high break prize which stands at £15,000.
There was yet more history made with the perfect break from Page as it was the 14th of the season, which goes past the previous record of 13.
