Mark Allen compiled the 15th Crucible 147 but hovers on the brink of elimination from this year’s World Snooker Championship after an extraordinary second session of his second round match against qualifier Chris Wakelin.
Allen fired his maximum in the 13th frame having failed to pot a single ball in any of the previous three, as Wakelin turned a 6-2 overnight lead into an almost irretrievable 10-2 advantage by the mid-session interval.
