I dont know if this has ever arisen; does anyone know? It is theoretically possible to begin a break in this way and then miss the final red/black, thus leaving the break at 147. I wonder if this should happen in a top competition the sponsors would pay out the special prize for a 147.

I think Jamie Cope made a 151 once, but it wasn't on the telly.

It's also 151 years since Mears cast the eight at St Stephen's,
Rochester Row. Does anyone know whether they've since been tuned or
not?
