The World Snooker Tour Championship featured thrilling moments and unexpected turns as players vied for the highest break and maximum break prizes, which totaled £55,000. Mark Selby, however, had different plans, as he clinched an impressive 147 break.
Naturally, this event garnered excitement from various perspectives. Interviews with current players, legends of the baize, pundits, TV presenters, and the World Snooker Tour management added depth to the coverage.
Kyren Wilson, reflecting on the event, shared an amusing anecdote about his celebration, which involved a “bottomless brunch” with his wife and culminated in an early bedtime. To his surprise, he awoke to a flurry of missed calls and messages, including one from Shaun Murphy alerting him to Selby’s 147 break.
Wilson cherished the historic moment, emphasizing its lasting significance. He recounted how his children’s teachers allowed them to take a break from their activities to witness the accomplishment, leaving them equally thrilled.
