Kyren Wilson pranks Crucible crowd by pretending to go for pink while on 147 break

Snooker star Kyren Wilson gave the Crucible crowd plenty to laugh about during his World Championship match with Stuart Bingham after appearing to go for a pink when on for a 147 break. Wilson had potted 23 perfect balls (12 reds 11 blacks) during the 16th frame of his last-16 tie.

Following his 12th red, the Englishman left himself with a tricky shot to the black to continue his hunt for a prized maximum break. As Wilson weighed up his next move, he eyed up the pink which if taken would of course end his chances of a 147.

After momentarily lining up behind the pink ball the 30-year-old quickly hopped away and moved across to the black, which saw the Sheffield crowd break out into laughter.
