He's made another sub-7-minute maximum break.

The guy is genius.

I take it this was the one from yesterday, and he hasn't made 2 in the same match?

Genius? Sometimes.

Plonker? All too often.

Hope he gets thru' though. Nobody is as good to watch as the rocket man when he's on form...

"It is the second-fastest 147 in history, with O'Sullivan himself holding the record for his maximum at the 1997 World Championship, which took him five minutes 20 seconds."

I'm watching it live on the telly. They joys of working from home.

And in just under two weeks, I'll be watching it live in the Crucible.

COME ON JIMMY.

A White/O'Sullivan final would be perfect, since we're going to be there to see it.

Badger Stuffer - don't forget that at the moment Ronnie also picks up the highest break prize, so he actually earns £169,000 for that 6m30s.
