Snooker star David Gilbert certainly got away with one after producing what commentators described as the 'fluke of the century' during his World Championship qualifying match.
The 40-year-old was up against Jamaica’s Rory McLeod on Sunday and was attempting to pot the blue into the left middle pocket as he led with a score of 19-13 in the final frame of the match.
However, after hitting the cue ball with too much power, it ricocheted off the pocket before rebounding off the opposite cushion and back towards the group of red balls. The cue ball then hit the pink after the balls collided, which saw the blue somehow roll into the bottom right pocket to the surprise of everyone watching.
