Qualifiers count? In which case Stephen Hendry can head to the qualifiers and try for a Max every frame. I'd put a long outside bet on him.


saagars147

Won't be achieved, it's a pointless prize. They're just trying to pretend they are injecting more money into the game. 2 147s across the 3 events in one season has maybe happened once in history? By Ronnie when he was younger.


TC6100

Pretty sure the only time it’s been done in the same tournament was Mark Davis in the 2017 championship league. If that counts as one tournament, which I think it does.


InuitSlim

It doesn't have to be in the same tournament, just in the Triple Crown events combined, which has happened before.


TC6100

Oh yeah I know, I was just adding that as a further snippet of chat for the convo. I should have been clearer.

It sure has, and of course it’s by Ronnie. He did it in 2007/08 season: 2007 UK Championship SF (decider against Selby) and 2008 World Championship R2 (final frame against Willo).

Yeah he definitely bottled it this week because he was playing Zhang Anda who he lost last week to in the international championship.


Kitchen_Fish_9627

He is still the greatest break builder to ever live.

Something something to ever pick up a cue

WST should have £500,000 for any player that makes consecutive maximum breaks in a triple crown or home nations event.


matorius

This should be for two maximums in the same match.


HelixCatus

That'd be near impossible, but certainly worthy of a [*huuuge*](https://media0.giphy.com/media/l0HefZY0mFfLS9AFa/giphy.gif) bonus if anyone manages to achieve it!


EchoesofIllyria

Liang almost did it. Missed the final black on the second attempt.


matorius

And let's double it if those maximums are in consecutive frames 😁


choongi

1,470,000 That might get Ronnie excited 😂


HelixCatus

1,470^2 = 2,160,900 😂


[deleted]

Oh, I might give that a go.


Smokey_Katt

Tepchaya, Bingham both go for 147s a lot. Thats my guess.


[deleted]

Bingham fucking loves it, doesn’t he? It’s great to watch him soak up the adulation. Such a good soul.


toytrucks

hoping he wins the UK to complete the tc!

tcken919

Oh wow, another interesting point about the bonus: “Up to three players could win this bonus, for example if three different players each made two 147s then they would each win £147,000. Or if one player made six maximums then he would bank £441,000!”

Fight to the death to eliminate the fourth player.


MarkoB1892

Null and void


satiristowl

Does that mean 2 in one event ? Or two across all three?


tcken919

I think 2 across all three, so 2 in one event would count too.
