Jamie Burnett re-wrote the record books by compiling the highest break in the history of professional snooker.
The Scot completed a clearance of 148 at the UK Championship qualifiers in Prestatyn on his way to a 9-8 win over Leo Fernandez in the second round.
The historic break was achieved in the 14th frame after Fernandez committed a foul, giving Burnett a free ball.
Burnett potted the brown as the extra red, then another brown followed by the 15 reds and all the colours.
The world number 49 from Glasgow becomes the first player to make a break of more than 147 in a professional match.
"I didn't even realise I was on it until I'd got over 100 and saw that a 148 was on," he said.
I'm just glad I got through in the end because it wouldn't have meant as much if I'd been beaten

"I didn't really know how to react afterwards. At first I thought it was no big deal, but then I realised I'd made history.
"I went out of the arena to compose myself because I still had to win the match. But I didn't play well afterwards and didn't really deserve to win.
"I'm just glad I got through in the end because it wouldn't have meant as much if I'd been beaten."
Despite creating history, Burnett is not due to receive a cash jackpot as there is no bonus awarded for a highest pre-televised break.
