This is an insane achievement given the format.

[@tomk5066]

Imagine if he ran out of time on the pink or last black 😂

[@JohnJaySnookerChannel]

@@tomk5066that would be a sickener

[@mattierara]

Yes but the shot clock is an added pressure. In the normal game just being able to think over each shot for much longer makes it much easier regardless of total time for the break.@@Vlow52

[@nigefal]

Even Ronnie never did that. If you were to bet you would have assumed Ronnie would have been the first in that format. Great cueball control from Murphy.

[@rikkiit452]

​@Vlow52 they don't have the sam3 type of pressure. with the loud crowd is even more pressure 😅 can't compare really

[@anthonydenn4345]

Shaun looked like he was thriving off the crowd. What an amazing player when he's really up for it and relaxed in himself. He is world class.

[@FreeThinkAlways]

Shame he ruins it with his mouth. Seriously moaning publicly about none pro players playing against him and moaning about people going to the toilet. Urgh

Brilliant 147. Never thought a maximum break could have been made in this snooker format against the shot clock in a party atmosphere, well done Shaun Murphy.

[@JohnDoe-bw3tz]

That's absolutely incredible considering the shot clock, the crowd, the last few reds and everything. Most certainly one of the greatest breaks ever.

[@luckyspurs]

The 13th red was unbelievable well played.

[@MattiK2609]

What I find even more astonishing is that despite all that pressure on him, Shaun still has the nerves to pull a little joke at 4:19

[@ReelFilm2016]

Wow. 7 mins and 25 seconds for a 147. How he dealt with all of the noise and the heckling was fantastic.

[@Sabre_Wulf1]

Thats one of the best ever televised 147's i have ever witnessed in 50 years. Absolutely stunning. Its not the final of the worlds, but it had its own pressure with those 10 second shots. Stunning achievement lad !

[@Sabre_Wulf1]

@@neilgoodyer9606 ronnie? Nope, in my head i was thinking the best has to be the first televised 147 by Davis in 1982. I was 9 and watched it with my dad. Thats my pick of the best. Followed by thorburns long steady 147 in the worlds a year later. Like i said, im 50! Ronnies quick break was incredible yes but was in the 1st round of the worlds, so would probably put murphys above that. So 3rd best for me.

[@77eamonnd]

"anyone else getting nervous" yes Shaun, I was on the edge of my seat watching it live, fantastic achievement..... It could be quite some time before we see a 147 in a shootout again, if ever

That has to be one of the top 10 best maximums ever. To do the last 10-12 shots with only 10 seconds to play each shot is sensational. Well done, Shaun! 😎

[@flinty8121]

Top 10???? How is it anything but Number 1? The only competition is Ronnie’s in 5 minutes odd, but this eclipses that one for me.

[@shinydavidhowell]

It still absolutely cracks me up that a shot clock 147 is still about 50% longer than Ronnie's 😂 Just shows how utterly ludicrous that one was. But he at least could have slowed down at any time (need to rewatch to see if he did!), Shaun couldn't!

2nd best 147 ive ever seen Hats off Murphy

[@TheSluremus]

One of the greatest 147s ever. Basically in control practically all the way, in this format, with all that noise and the shot clock. Just to be able to make a 147 in less than the total frame time in the shoot-out format is incredible, let alone being actually able to handle the unique noisy atmosphere of the event. I see the Ronnie bros are already out in full force trying to spin this achievement as something small. Of course, everybody who knows their snooker know that this is one of the greatest single-frame performances in history. And yes, Ronnie O'Sullivan is still the greatest snooker player of all time. Relax.

[@JoePye-hk3jw]

Unbelievable Shaun, I have always said, since 2005 when you won the world title that you was one of the greatest players ever, I’ve even got a picture of you and me in my living room and such a nice guy, congratulations on that brilliant 147 your a legend of the game, all the best Shaun and thank you for entertaining me over the years your massive fan, joe pye

[@christopher1800]

I agree with you wholeheartedly. A lot of people don't like Shaun, and I don't really understand why not. He is a smart guy. I don't always agree with his views, but that's fine... at least he is outspoken and chooses his words carefully.

[@garwoc216]

Ronnie's was helped by the ref. They move behind the player nowadays, slowing down picking the colours out the pockets. Even Ronnie says the ref helped with that break.

[@Bootrosgali]

​@@Retired1967do what

[@Retired1967]

@@Bootrosgali Watch his break again and you'll see. The refs used to stand just out of view, making it quicker to pick up the colours once potted. Even Ronnie says that time will never be beat the way referees position themselves now. It'd probably be a 7 minute break the way referees stand today.

Stunning break. Some great shots in there. Blue to pink was incredible. Well played Sean 🎉

[@MrCol104]

Wow. Utterly incredible achievement. To knock in a 147 under pressure of the clock and baying crowd quite ridiculous. The yellow in particular was made all the more difficult by the crowd. One of the shouting “Don’t bottle it” is uncalled for. Regarding the Shootout competition, I’ll be honest and say I hate the format. Matches are too short. The shot timer is annoying. Reminds me of the 1980’s game show ‘Big Break’.

7 minutes 34 seconds for a 147 break is phenomenal. It does however put Ronnie's 5 minutes and 23 seconds into perspective when this format was designed to improve the speed of the game and it STILL can't beat Rocket Ronnie!

[@C4rl0s-_-4R]

Yea I have just been working this out myself haha. Ronnies average shot time would be 8.8 seconds per shot for 36 pots. This is the closest anyone will ever get to that time. But Ronnies cueball was on a string round the black spot and the ref was almost running around the table respotting. Which takes a lot of time off the break
