Northern Ireland's Mark Allen made an "incredible" 147 break but was defeated by England's Chris Wakelin in an absorbing World Championship second-round match.
Allen trailed 10-2 after losing the opening four frames of the morning on Friday. He went straight to the practice table in the interval and then produced snooker's moment of perfection in the first frame after the restart.
It made him only the 11th player to make a 147 at the Crucible. The maximum was the 15th at the venue in the tournament's history and the first since Mark Selby's clearance in the 2023 final.
However, world number 20 Wakelin, who beat former world champion Neil Robertson in round one, was not distracted and managed to triumph 13-6 and move into the quarter-finals.
The maximum break was Allen's second 147 of the season, having made one during his third-round match against Ben Mertens at the British Open, and the fifth of his career.
The achievement earns 39-year-old Allen £45,000 and goes down as the 217th maximum in snooker's history. The cash bonus will be split if another player makes a 147 in the tournament.
Allen had a chance for a second maximum in the 18th frame against Wakelin, only to miss after potting 11 reds and 10 blacks.
If he had made two 147s, Allen would have collected an extra £147,000, which is on offer for any player to achieve that in the World Championship, Masters, UK Championship and Saudi Masters.
Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry, speaking on BBC TV, called the maximum "absolutely phenomenal" and added: "What a performance. Unbelievable. Incredible from Mark Allen.
"He was 10-2 behind and he's not scored a point for three frames, comes out after the interval and he makes a 147."
