There aren't very many things in snooker that would get a fan jumping from their seat but a maximum break is certainly one of them. Ken Doherty flirted with the 147 a few years ago before missing the final black. Earlier today Mark Selby Channelled his inner Doherty by just missing out on the 147, and the prize money that comes with it, when he also missed the final shot.

That witches cackle at the end was probably in reference to the easiness of the pot. I'd nearly go out there and get it myself.
