He's 10-8 up, but Neil on the table. This match is actually crucial for his career. Either a talented nearly man or does he step up to the challenge. He can win a frame just like that with his break building, but he can't let Neil back in it.

Neil's on a 147 in case anyone reads my post quick enough to turn over. Real good chance.

Yes indeed. Robertson gets the maximum!

So Neil Robertson becomes the second international player to hit a maximum at The Crucible after the Canadian Cliff Thorburn way back in the early/mid 80s.

I don't know, but I know it's much less which is a joke...I remember Ronnie was on a 147 and he took a pink instead as a bit of a protest which left the crowd disappointed, but he said he was pissed off about the prize money. I'm thinking at some stage it was 147,000, but I might be way out. I think it could be about 20 grand now... maybe they think the quality is too high now?

Well done Neil , fantastic stuff
10-10

**Rockerman** · 25-04-22, 19:28

It's 10-10 at the break. Neil favourite now.

Trump is 11-9 up at the break. The next frame is huge.

I think it’s 40,000 for maximum and 18,000 for highest break, but I could be wrong

Right so I had a quick look. I was right about the £147,000...for Ronnie's famous '97 maximum break he made £165,000 which included £18,000 for the tournament high break. Now it seems for a televised 147 it's 5 grand, but it goes into a rollover to the next tournament if there isn't one.

It seems strange when all costs, prize money is going up the bonus here is well done. Barry Hearn isn't always the most popular.

So our £18,000 is matching up. I don't know for sure if the rollover is now at £40,000.... maybe we will hear.
