- When Ronnie O'Sullivan got to know about the prize money for the maximum, he decided to make a point. The amount of £10,000 was apparently "too cheap" for a maxi and so scored a 146 instead!Opinions are divided if it was the right thing to do.Did he make his point? Yes.Is it the most controversial break in snooker history? Probably! Will anyone or rather can anybody have done something like this? NO.

Who else is intrigued by this but doesn't know what's going on.
Opponent misses his shot:
O’Sullivan: I’m about to end this mans whole career
When your older brother doesn't let you play
"It's not about the money... it's about sending a message"
Is it just me or does O'Sullivan remind me of Mr bean
"Ronnie O'Sullivan throws away 12k for shits and giggles"
Imagine being rich enough to scoff at a "free" 10,000 pounds.
0:20 Ah shit, here we go again.
The prize for a 147 used to be too high, but they reduced it because Ronnie kept doing 147s frequently.
Ronnie's opponent had black hair, too, at the beginning of this frame.
For those who don’t understand. The max score for snooker is 147, and to achieve that you must first sink all 15 red balls with each red followed immediately by the black ball.
When you sink a red ball you can nominate the black or colored balls to sink next to maximize your points.
The point system is as follows Black (7), Pink (6), Blue (5), Brown (4), Green (3), Yellow (2).
The black and colored balls reset every time they are sunk. So it’s possible to go from Red to Black 15 times in a row to give you 120 points. Then after all the reds are gone you sink the colors in ascending order of points ending with the black ball giving you 147.
With every red ball sunk you need to put the que ball in a position to sink the black for maximum points as the black yields 7. This will give you a perfect score.
At the 6:00 minute mark he purposely puts the que ball in a position to sink the pink instead of the black. Meaning his max score can only be 146 because he purposely chose the 6 point pink over 7 point black.
1:32 a guys sleeping in the crowd 😂
Nobody:
Not a soul:
YouTube's algorithm: a 3-year old impressive pool video that's completely unrelated to anything you've viewed in the past
146 just to spite the promoters! haha only Ronnie....
That was probably the most elaborate troll in snooker's history.
He protec
He also attac
But most importantly
He dont pot blac
Ok YouTube I watched it, now what do you insist I watch?
it's not hard to tell that Ronnie's interests are not money prizes but a sense of joy when he achieved 146.
damn... mr bean got a skill
That's as good as it gets.
He makes a ridiculously difficult thing look so so easy.
