But lower than that it would only be highest break.
I don't get it, why is that ?

Is this the only 147 made by a palindromic potter?

I must confess, that for the last few shots of the maximum, I was thinking: Keep your cool mate... Congratulations Saengkham! (thumbs up)

I guess because a 149 or a 150 isn't a maximum. 155 is.
I mean, I guess, technically a 147 isn't one either.
But it seems odd, if somebody makes a 147, they get the maximum prize even if somebody made a 148 in the same tournament.

Was it Noppon who kept bungling them on 140, or am I thinking of somebody else?

Because the maximum prize is only if you pot a black after every red including any free ball reds.

Maybe, just maybe, Ronnie’s got a cunning plan: after losing the masters final to Trump he’s purposely losing early and playing poorly to suggest decline has finally set in in order to make Judd’s victory over him less shiny or significant, and then when everybody has written off his chances, he’s gonna play brilliant and win the WC!

Typical.
Zhang Anda beat Williams, and is now losing to Slessor.

It's hard not to think such theories when you see him play his A Game. You wonder how he could ever lose.

I think the burger is called The Zinger or something. It's from KFC.

The Zhang sounds like a KFC option. Ash saw fit to make this meme. I love his creativity!
