The World Snooker Championship has already proven highly lucrative for one player before the main draw has even started.

Jackson Page became the first player in the history of the game to record two maximum 147 breaks in the same match during a 10-2 qualifying victory over Allan Taylor.

The Welshman's exploits earned him the £147,000 Triple Crown bonus, awarded to any player who records multiple 147 breaks in one of the Triple Crown events – the World Snooker Championship, The Masters and the UK Championship – during the same season.

Page is also on course for the £15,000 highest break bonus for the tournament itself, and that's before we take into account standard prize money for progressing through the tournament.

The eventual victor will walk away from the Crucible with a hefty sum, worth almost half of the 2024/25 top-earning player's annual winnings.
