Un-Nooh! Snooker player botches perfect frame on final ball - again

Thai snooker star Thepchaiya Un-Nooh has missed out on a perfect 147 break with an easy miss on the black ball for the second time in four months.

For any snooker player, making a 147 break is the pinnacle of the sport.

Un-Nooh had done all the hard work in the third frame against Anthony McGill, setting himself up for a reasonably straightforward black that was worth $15,000 in bonuses.

But nerves clearly got to the 30-year-old as he hit the shot with far more pace than required and saw it rattle the jaws of pocket.

A shattered Un-Nooh was left to throw his cue on the table in disgust.

Amazingly, it is the second time this season he has missed out on a maximum, have also missed the final ball at the UK Championship.
