When you're playing snooker, you probably have heard the term'maximum break'. The maximum break in a frame is the highest. A player could break the maximum by potting all 15 of the reds or all 15 blacks in a single frame for 120 points. Another way to break this limit is to put all six colours into a single frame and earn 27 points.
Stephen Hendry's book 147
After breaking the world record of 147, a seven-time World Snooker champion is making headlines. The break came in seventh frame in his first round match against Stuart Bingham.
