China’s Zhao Xintong knocked in a maximum 147 break in a 4-1 WPBSA Q Tour win against Shaun Liu.
Zhao recently returned to the game following a suspension given last year when he was one of 10 Chinese players banned as part of the sport’s biggest match-fixing scandal.
The 27-year-old did not directly throw a match himself but was given a ban of one year and eight months, reduced from two and a half years after his early admissions and guilty plea.
He lost at the last-64 stage of a Q Tour event in Bulgaria in September before playing Liu at the same stage in a similar event in Stockholm, Sweden.
Zhao, who won the UK Championship title in 2021, hit breaks of 80 and 68 on the way to a 3-1 lead before rounding off the victory with a 147.
