2023-12-04 11:56:00Z   QF Northern Ireland Alex Higgins (a) 13-9 England Steve Davis (a) Head to head
In the eighth frame, Higgins was on course to achieve a maximum break, when he became the first player in the history of the world championship to pot black balls after each of the fifteen red balls during a break. After running out of position on the fifteenth black, he managed to pot the yellow ball, but failed in an attempt to then double the green ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNst9pPfMWY
