Watch the last two pots, a tricky mid-range pink and the final black.

The amazing 147 maximum break, made against Liang Wenbo in the sixth frame, was Neil Robertson's third in his career, the first in a UK final, and the first in a final of one of snooker's traditional three 'major' events.

Robertson finished the session 5-3 and is the favourite to win a second UK Championship crown tonight at the Barbican Centre, York.
