Chinese snooker legend Ding Junhui (File Photo)   Chinanews, Jan. 15 - Chinese snooker legend Ding Junhui achieved a preeminent maximum 147 break at the SAGA Insurance Masters on Sunday (Jan. 14). It's the first maximum seen at the Wembley Arena in 23 years.

 

He will pocket 35,000 pounds in prize money, unless the break is matched by another player at this year's event, which concludes next Sunday.

 

The 19-year-old compiled two further centuries in a comfortable 6-3 first round win over Nottingham's Anthony Hamilton and now meets good friend Peter Ebdon - last month's Maplin UK Championship winner - in the next round on Tuesday night.
