Welshman Jackson Page made history by becoming the first player to register two maximum 147 breaks in the same match.
Page dispatched Allan Taylor 10-2 in World Championship qualification in Sheffield on Monday, to set up a fourth-round match against Joe O'Connor.
It is a victory that will go down in history as the 23-year-old secured two maximum breaks, the first and second of his career, to seal the win.
Page raced into a 5-1 lead on Sunday with two 50+ clearances and a 109 break in the first six frames.
He then took the seventh before recording his maiden 147 break in the eighth frame, potting all 15 reds, each followed by a black, and then all six colours.
Page’s first 147 of the encounter put him in line to earn the World Championship’s £10,000 bonus for a maximum during qualifying, as well as the event’s £15,000 high break prize.
The Welshman then made a break of 94 to win the next frame and claim an 8-1 lead to take into Monday.
Taylor rallied to win the 10th frame and bring the score to 8-2, before Page won the final two frames, the last of which came courtesy of a historic second 147 of the encounter to seal victory.
In turn, Page became the first person to make two 147s in the same match, while he pocketed the £147,000 Triple Crown bonus, awarded to any player who makes two maximum breaks in the Triple Crown events, comprised of the World Championship, Masters and UK Championship.
