World Championship 2012 (the qualifiers) - Day 7
 |
| Rob Milkins wins his 1st match with a 147 |
With such a high standard of playing snooker is no wonder that the maximum breaks are no longer a rarity. And yet there's still something very magical about them. Even if they are hit in the qualifying rounds. They don’t get the feverish applauses from a full packed arena, but they sure worth a lot to a player.
For Robert Milkins the magical 147 is not his first (back in 2006 he broke the ice also during the World Championship qualifiers), but it sure meant a lot, if we are to watch this video. The Pink Army soldier used this break to take a 2-1 lead over China's Xiao Guodong, the Chinese player having his faith decided during the latter session, when he was beat by 10-4.
However, we did have a Chinese player who "saved the day" in the person of Yu Delu who found no difficulty whatsoever to beat Matthew Selt 10-5 and secure himself a place in the fifth round of the qualifiers where's he's meeting the one and only Stephen Hendry on Saturday.

| No Crucible-play this year for Steve Davis |
Jamie Jones took on one of his pink comrades, Andy Hick, the snooker encounter seeing all its frames being put to use with the "kid" Jones winning by 10-9, scoreline that was also recorded by another member of the Pink Army, Gerard Greene in front of the last Thai standing, James Wattana.
Starting their first session for their snooker rendez-vous, Nigel Bound took the liberty of leading Cao Yupeng 5-4, as well as Luca Brecel, who put his nose in front over Michael Holt, Joe Jogia leads Brazil Igor Figueiredo 6-3 while Liang Wenbo has a pretty high advantage over Justin Astley, of 7-2.
