When you're playing snooker, you probably have heard the term'maximum break'. The maximum break is the highest in one frame. A player could reach maximum break by potting all of the 15 reds as well as all of the 15 blacks for 120 point. Another way to break the maximum is to pot all six colours in a single frame for 27 points.

After breaking the record number 147, seven-time World Snooker champion was in the news. He broke in the seventh frame against Stuart Bingham in Sheffield.

He won the UK Championship, the Masters, and six World Championship finals. Despite his successes, he was not able to win The Crucible.
