Mark Allen fired a maximum 147 break during his World Snooker Championship match against Chris Wakelin.

The Northern Irish star clinched the 15th maximum at the Crucible after a nightmare start to the session that saw him slip 10-2 behind against the qualifier.

Allen punched the air after polishing off the final black and was congratulated by his opponent, who still stands a chance of wrapping up victory with a session to spare.

It was Allen’s fifth maximum of his career to scoop the £40,000 bonus and earn a member of the crowd £25,000 in the process.

Jackson Page became the first player to make two 147s in the same match, bagging the £147,000 Triple Crown bonus during qualifying.

The Welshman produced the perfect frame twice in his 10-2 win over Allan Taylor in World Championship qualifying in Sheffield.
