The Rocket created a new record for most 147s in career which surpassed Stephen Hendry and his own record for tenth maximum. O'Sullivan got 2000 pounds for the maximum under the new rolling 147 bonus system. O'Sullivan last 147 is made on World Open Last September while Hendry's is on this year's Welsh Open.

Here is the video clip of Ronnie's eleventh maximum! This maximum was not easy but Ronnie managed to complete it! The Last red to the black is awesome! :)


Ronnie handed a superb performance today. He beaten Ali Kirim and Anthony McGill early on before the match with Adam Duffy. Ronnie tried 147 in the following frame after he made eleventh 147 successfully but missed the twelfth black at 89. Li Yan set up a Last 16 match with the Rocket as he beaten John Higgins.
