Judd Trump made a magnificent 147 maximum break in the Champion of Champions final with Ronnie O'Sullivan in Bolton.
Trump's magic moment came in frame eight when, having slipped 6-1 behind to a rampant O'Sullivan, the defending champion finally found his touch to compile the seventh maximum break of his career, and only the second in the tournament's history.
The 33-year-old had clearly set his sights on the maximum early in the break, turning down a simple pink to the centre pocket in favour of a much more difficult black when the frame was still live and the balls inviting for an O'Sullivan counter.
When the black dropped, Trump had a clear path to the 147 and the job was all but complete when he potted the brown from mid-range and landed perfectly on the blue.
Trump pumped his fist in delight - but the Rocket remained in his chair without offering a handshake - his first real moment of cheer having until then failed to make his mark on a final that had appeared to be slipping from his grasp, and he breathed further life into the match when claiming the final frame of the afternoon with a run of 96 to reduce his arrears to 6-3.

Out of the 181 maximums in snooker history, it's only the second ever to be made against Ronnie O'Sullivan. The first was when Stephen Hendry did it in a deciding frame of a final in 1997! pic.twitter.com/XPItPFTbRR
