Really impressed with Neil Robertson for a long time and he continues his outstanding play becoming the first player to make a maximum 147 break in the final of the UK Championship.
Australian Neil Robertson has become the first player to make a maximum 147 break in the final of the UK Championship.

Robertson punched the air in delight and received a standing ovation from the crown at the York Barbican Centre after he potted the final black.
Wenbo applauded and then hugged his opponent, who now has managed three maximums in his career.
Robertson ended the first session of the final 5-3 up, in a race to 10 frames to take the trophy and 150,000 pound ($308,820) prize.
Thailand's Thepchaiya Un-Nooh almost got a maximum break earlier in the tournament, but missed the final black.
It was the 115th 147 break in snooker history, as world number one Robertson bids to win the UK title for a second time
