Snooker star bags massive £147,000 bonus in World Championship qualifying after making TWO 147s in same match
A SNOOKER star landed a massive £147,000 bonus for becoming the first player in history to make TWO 147s in the same match.
Jackson Page took on Allan Taylor in Snooker World Championship qualifying in Sheffield.
The Welshman, 23, breezed to a comfortable 10-2 win.
And incredibly, two of those ten frames were perfect 147 breaks.
He nailed the first maximum to move 7-1 in front and the second sealed the victory in style.
Not only is it the first time in snooker history that someone has produced the stunning feat.
But it also takes the total tally of maximums in 2024-25 to 14 – a new record for a single season.
World No35 Page is guaranteed the £147k bonus for his 72 perfect pots – on offer to anyone who makes two 147s across the season’s Triple Crown events and Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters.
However, Action could bag an extra £25,000 in additional World Championship bonuses – including £15k for the highest break.
Unsurprisingly, his heroic achievement went down a storm on social media.

One said: “Wow! Unbelievable.”
Another wrote: “Forget the golf! Jackson making two 147s in one match should be front Page news. Nice slice of history for the young lad.”
TV star Richard Osman added: “Wow, two 147s in the same match from Jackson Page. Incredible. He’ll have to share the high-break prize with himself, though.”
And a final user commented: “Deserves to be at the Crucible for that alone.”
Page, though, still has plenty of work to do to book his place in the main draw in Sheffield which gets underway on Saturday.
He will take on Joe O’Connor in the final round of qualifying on Tuesday with the winner joining 15 other qualifiers in the 32-man draw headed up by top seed and defending champion Kyren Wilson.
