The term "maximum Break" is a common expression in snooker. The maximum break is the highest in one frame. For example, a player could make a maximum break by potting all 15 reds and all 15 blacks for 120 points. Another way to break this limit is to put all six colours into a single frame and earn 27 points.
Stephen Hendry’s 147
After breaking the world record of 147, a seven-time World Snooker champion is making headlines. The break was made in the seventh frame of his match against Stuart Bingham, Sheffield. The world number one is currently defending his title and is on track for another major prize. However, Hendry is not convinced that the extra incentive provided by a 147 break in the Crucible is worth the risk.
Ronnie O'Sullivan's 147

Jimmy White's 1992 break at 147 was one the most famous breaks in snooker. The British professional was an outstanding player who enjoyed a successful career. He won six World Championship finals, the Masters Championship in the UK, and the Masters Championship in the Masters. Despite his successes he didn't win The Crucible.
Jimmy White's win against Tony Drago: 147
Jimmy White's 147 against Tony Draga has been regarded as one of the greatest billiards shots. The former world number one hit it in three minutes, 31 seconds.
