Shaun Murphy makes historic 147 against clock in Shoot Out

Shaun Murphy recorded the first ever 147 break in the BetVictor Shoot Out in Swansea, marking the first time the competition had a maximum break since its inception in 2011. The competition, which pits players against each other in a 10-minute one-frame encounter and operates a shot clock, had never seen a maximum break since its inception in 2011. Murphy made the maximum in seven minutes and 33 seconds against 16-year-old Bulcsú Révész. The first round of the Shoot Out concludes on Wednesday night, with Ireland’s Leone Crowley beaten by Jackson Page, Northern Ireland’s Jordan Brown facing Gary Wilson, and Aaron Hill taking on Alfie Burden. Allen won his first round match last night, while Ken Doherty was beaten by Matthew Stevens.
