one [Applause] eight. So, we can start to look to open the black spot up here. Leave a low angle on the black. just chip the red directly above the black, away from the red next to it. That will open things up slightly. There’s been a lot of collecting dust off the table from Ronny this evening. And you don’t often see that from him. Of course, he still uses the old chalk which does leave marks on the table, but usually he’s not that fussed of sweeping up after himself. Nine. Perfect on this black to chip that red away and completely open up the black spot in a couple of shots time. [Applause] 16 17. Well, he won’t be thinking about it just yet because it’s very very congested. But in four or five shots time, should Ronny be able to open this frame up? He may be thinking about the maximum once again. 24. Why wouldn’t he? 147,000 if he makes another one here. Of course, we’re in a match now. Also, Tara and new seen would be seeing his share of that 50,000 reduce by the frame. That was a very nicely controlled positional shot. Also, that’s just pushed three more reds into play. 33. It’ll be in the back of his mind here, Ronnie. But can’t imagine he’ll be thinking too much about it with how that main cluster is, but there’s no reason for him to not keep himself on the black 40. And the longer he stays on it, the more he’ll start to think about it. 41. Surely we wait seven years for Ronno silver maximum or we’re going to get two in the same night. Still early days here, but he’s still on the black. 49. That little glance off the red may have just opened another at the back of the pack. So, slowly but surely, this is becoming a half decent chance. Still work to be done. Plus, the frame is imperative. 56. Chris has closed the gap. Ronny needs to reestablish his lead here. 57 [Applause] again. Another pure piece of ball striking. What a lovely played shot that was. Red to middle. Just effortless. 64. That red ease got his sights on at the back of the pack. If he can get on that in such a way in a few shots time, it will bring everything into play. 65. And he’s perfect on this black to do so. Another look just to make sure he lands exactly where he needs to. He’s got red at the back, possibly a red next to the pink. If he gets this one shot right, this next red, it could be the key to this break. Chose to go into them. Not ideal. 72 touching ball. No, nothing easy. And also has pushed a red safe onto the cushion. Still needs another red for the frame. In it goes. So it’s his friend. He is still on the black. Could he do it? Yeah. The concern will be that red that he has just pushed safe. C. It was a nice split. Just that one red 80. Now the cogs are turning in the brain of Ronno Sullivan. how best to attack that red 821. Reminder, if he does make a second maximum, then he gets £147,000 plus 2/3 share of the £50,000 maximum price for this tournament. 88 89 96 97 Chris Wakeland in the background with a little smile on his face just admiring what is going on here. It’s black for the sentry, but the 147 is on his mind. So key shot coming up. Red to black. Needs the angle to bring that red into play. 105. Well, looking at maybe leaving it down the cushion. He’s not perfect on this black to bring it off. So, he’s going to be screwing in behind it. No, that’s not ideal. That’s not ideal. This is a tough red now. Cub coming into the table, too. This is need to be floated in. Come on, Ronnie. It’s close. What a shot. It’s on to make a second maximum in this semiinal. Just when you think there’s nothing left for him to do in the sport. And even that shot there high on the black, he’s just perfectly guided that CQ ball past that pink. 122. What a player. What a moment this is going to be. Five balls for a second match. 125. Well, we waited seven years between his 15th and his 16th. It’s a mass of what an hour or so it would seem between 16 and 17 129. We wonder what was going to happen with Ronnie O Sullivan after he smashed his kill last season. He’s got a new one and this is the result. 104. This is flare. This is a This is genius. 147,000. The crowd can barely believe what they’ve seen. And there’s still time maybe to make another one. Who knows?

The GOAT
well done the rocket . GOAT
he is who he is.. simply the best! 🤩
When Ronnie is in the mood …records are beaten..as simple as that…
The fact he "smashed his cue up last season" and is casually banging in two 147s a few months later is insight into how extraordinary Ronnie is. A dedicated and complex individual. A genius at snooker? Probably.
When you add the £147,000 for the 2nd maximum + £33,000 for highest break share, +£200,000 runner-up prize money, =£380,000, close to the £500k winners check
Incredible
Two in the same match
And good commentating
In the old days they would talk down the chances of a maximum
Now they talk it up
The greatest snooker player of all time … simply no argument against it !
GOAT
Beautiful.
I really wish this commentator would shut the hell up. Of course it is congestive at the beginning of a frame. Of course in four or five shots he will open up the reds. Of course he wants the highest break. Of course that was a nice shot. FFS.
АБЕ ТОА ТЪПАК -КОМЕТАТОРА НЯМА ЛИ ДА МЛЪКНЕ !!!!!!
МЛЪКНИ БЕ ТЪ АК!!!!!!
This break was spoiled by banal lifeless commentary. What a joke!
Ronnie and Neil, the two old men show the young players what is Snooker!
What other words can describe this phenomenon? I've got one. Extraterrestrial.
Ronnie osulivan is the goat
Ronnie O'Sullivan!!! showed and played like no one before him in match. Therefore, when we talk about snooker today, we mean and talk about Ronnie O'Sullivan!!!
❤
You’re not only the best snooker player but you have a heart second to none – Love you Ronnie from Dora x
From time to time he hits that purple patch and nobody better to watch when it happens
Nothing much Chris could have done when Ronnie hits that form .same we other semi we Neil but Eliot was not in great form sadly .
O’Sullivan’s fifth 147 which came in the 2001 LG Cup against Drew Henry is overlooked. At the time I believe it was the second fastest maximum on record. You never hear it mentioned, it’s one of the greatest breaks that time forgot.
💪🏻
This can be compared to Alex honnold on el capitan. Mastery
God mode 💪👍
Highlight of wakelin’s career!
GOAT
Sunny Akani should concentrate on cue making!
Maybe I need to smash my cue up too.
Crazy.
I read about these 2 maximums & I have just watched both of them back to back. Speechless now. What a genius Ronnie is.
