O'Sullivan is the first-class player with the most perfect scores of 147, and he has shot 15 strokes in his career, but the last time he played 147 was back in the 2018 English Open, which means that Mr. Huo has not played 147 for 6 years (except for exhibition matches).
Mr. Huo refused to play 147 for one reason, that is, the bonus was too low. Recently, he said in an interview that he had given up 147 a long time ago, "I guess I can still play a single stroke 147, but I gave up a long time ago." If the bonus is 14£70,000 and I will continue to pursue it. ”
There is no motivation without bonuses, and the 147 that Mr. Huo once played brought him huge benefits. For example, in the 2003 World Championships, the Rockets shot 147 and scored 14£70,000 for the 147 jackpot, plus 2The top prize of £20,000 in a single stroke is 16£90,000. This is the highest prize money ever won by a player who shot 147. And in the 2009 World Championships, Hendry hit 147 and became a 14The last person in the 147 grand prize of £70,000.
Since the beginning of the 2010 11 season, Barry Hearn has come to power and reformed the 147 prize money swing of the broadsword, eliminating the 147 prize money for all events. This move directly dispelled Mr. Huo's desire to impact 147, and he had deliberately called 146 many times to express his dissatisfaction. But even so, the 15-shot 147 brought in about £660,000 for the fire teacher. ** The existence of the only gear of the gram, there is no doubt about it.
Although now the World Taiwan Federation has introduced a new policy, players who shoot 2 shots of 147 in the three major tournaments have a chance to win as much as 14£70,000 prize. But compared with the past, the conditions are still much harsher, and Mr. Huo was not moved by this. Perhaps, we will never see Mr. Fire call 147 again.
