Overview

  • Jackson Page became the first snooker player to achieve two maximum 147 breaks in a single match during the World Championship qualifiers.
  • The historic feat occurred in the eighth and 12th frames of his 10-2 victory over Allan Taylor, completed across Sunday and Monday in Sheffield.
  • Page’s achievement earned him a £147,000 bonus, with the potential for further rewards if he secures the tournament’s high break prize.
  • The 23-year-old from Ebbw Vale is now just one match away from qualifying for the Crucible, a significant milestone in his career.
  • Page credited his extensive club-level practice for making the maximum breaks feel routine, despite rarely attempting them during competitive play.
