Jackson Page Creates History with Double 147 Breaks in One Match: Full Story of His Unbelievable Feat

Jackson Page, a 23-year-old snooker talent from Wales, has stunned the world by making two 147 maximum breaks in a single match, a first in professional snooker history. His outstanding performance in the World Snooker Championship qualifying rounds not only won him the match but also bagged him a massive £147,000 bonus.

Let’s dive into the full story of Jackson Page’s magical moment on the table, how he did it, what it means for his career, and what’s next for the rising star.

Who is Jackson Page?

Jackson Page is a young Welsh snooker professional from Ebbw Vale, born in 2001. He turned professional in 2019 and has slowly been making his mark in the snooker world. Before this historic game, Page had never made a 147 break in a professional tournament.

Over the years, he’s shown flashes of brilliance, including making it to the Crucible Theatre in 2022 and 2024. But nothing compares to what he pulled off in April 2025.

The Record-Breaking Match: What Happened?

The unforgettable moment occurred during Jackson Page’s third-round World Snooker Championship qualifying match against England’s Allan Taylor.

First 147 Break – Frame 8 (Sunday)

In the eighth frame on Sunday, Page delivered his first-ever maximum break — 147 points — the highest possible score in snooker. This alone was a big deal for any player.

Second 147 Break – Frame 12 (Monday)

Then came the unbelievable part. When the match resumed on Monday, Page was already leading 8-1 and needed just two more frames to win. He didn’t just coast to victory he made a second 147 break in the 12th frame, finishing the match in style with a 10-2 win.

With that, Jackson Page became the first snooker player to score two 147s in the same professional match a feat never achieved in the sport’s long history.

The Huge Bonus: £147,000 for Two 147s

The World Snooker Tour had offered a £147,000 bonus to any player who made two maximum breaks across the Triple Crown events and the Saudi Arabian Masters this season.

Jackson Page didn’t just achieve that across events, he did it in a single match, qualifying for the entire bonus in one go.

He’s also now in the running for an additional £15,000 high break prize, depending on how the rest of the tournament unfolds.

Page’s Reaction: “Over the Moon”

Speaking to BBC 5 Live after his win, Page said:

“I’m over the moon. It’s a bizarre sort of feeling. I knew the bonus was up for grabs, so I went for it from the first ball, and it happened.”

He added that once he sank the 15th black, he knew the second 147 was within reach.

Personal Milestones: A Son and a New Home

Beyond the snooker table, Jackson Page has recently become a father. With a three-month-old son and a new house, the bonus couldn’t have come at a better time.

Page told reporters he plans to keep things simple, celebrating with a steak dinner before heading straight back to practice for the next match.

What’s Next? Final Qualifying Round

Jackson Page will face England’s Joe O’Connor in the final round of qualifiers. If he wins, he secures his place in the first round of the main World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.

O’Connor, ranked world number 30, is a strong competitor, but Page will be riding high on confidence after this historic achievement.

Upsets and Highlights from Other Matches

While Page was making headlines, the qualifiers also saw some surprise results:

Stuart Bingham, the 2015 World Champion, lost 10-6 to Michael Holt.
Stephen Maguire, former UK Champion, was beaten 10-3 by China’s Gao Yang.
Jimmy Robertson edged out teenage star Stan Moody 10-9.

These results mean the path to the Crucible is wide open for new talent, including Jackson Page.

Career Turning Point for Jackson Page?

Until now, Jackson Page was seen as a rising but relatively quiet presence in snooker. This performance changes everything. He’s now:

The first player ever with two 147s in one match.
A £147,000 bonus winner.
A strong contender for high break prize.
One match away from returning to the Crucible.

Fan Reaction and Social Media Buzz

Snooker fans and pros alike have been buzzing about Jackson Page’s performance:

"Absolutely unreal!" one fan tweeted.
“What a talent! The future of snooker,” said another.
Former players and commentators have called it one of the “greatest moments in modern snooker history.”

Final Thoughts: A New Snooker Star is Born

Jackson Page’s double 147 isn’t just a personal milestone, it’s a record-breaking event that’s etched into snooker history. From a player with no previous maximums to two in one match and a £147,000 reward, his story is what sports dreams are made of.

As he prepares for the next round against Joe O’Connor, fans everywhere will be watching closely to see if this Welsh wonder can continue his golden run and maybe make even more history at the Crucible.
