August 6, 20206 yr Author Four-time champion John Higgins made a maximum 147 break but could not avoid a shock 13-11 defeat by Kurt Maflin in the World Championship second round. Scot Higgins, 45, has been runner-up the last three years and led 11-10, having trailed 7-4 and 10-8. But Norway's Maflin, 36, responded in stunning fashion, taking three in a row to progress to the quarter-finals. Higgins' brilliant 147 came in the 12th frame and was the first maximum made at the Crucible Theatre since 2012. In a tremendous tussle, Higgins had already made a century and added six further breaks of 50 or more, but Maflin held himself together in fine manner with runs of 80, 75 and 63 for the biggest win of his career. Maflin will face the winner of the second-round tie between Anthony McGill and Jamie Clarke next, guaranteeing a qualifier in the semi-finals.
