‘He’s let the lads down’, jokes Ronnie O’Sullivan after Ding Junhui’s 147 break

Ding Junhui produced a maximum 147 break at the Welsh Open today and earned the £10,000 prize money Ronnie O'Sullivan had turned his nose up at four days earlier.

Chinese player Ding landed the reward by recording his sixth 147 in his quarter-final defeat to Neil Robertson in Cardiff, and he will be in line for a further £2,000 for the tournament's highest break if nobody matches his feat in the remaining matches.
