Ding Junhui, al nouălea jucător din istorie care reuşeşte break-ul maxim mai mult de o dată

Dinh Junhui a reuşit să producă al doilea break maxim al carierei lui, la UK Championship, în meciul pe care l-a disputat în runda a doua a turneului cu John Higgins. Acesta a fost al 67-lea break maxim în turneele profesioniste. Precedentul break maxim al lui DIng a fost reuşit la Mastersul din 2007, iar acum el devine al nouălea jucător care a reuşit mai mult de un break maxim.
Recordul unui break este totuşi un 148 reuşit de Jamie Burnett în timpul calificărilor din 2004 pentru UK Championship. După ce a beneficiat de un "free ball", Burnett a folosit bila maro ca o bilă roşie suplimentară, apoi a introdus din nou în buzunar bila maro şi a curăţat masa introducând 15 bile roşii, una albastră, două roz şi 12 negre, înainte de a trece la bilele colorate.
