Gibraltar Open 2022 - Stuart Bingham wraps up win over Gerard Greene with maximum 147 break

Stuart Bingham wrapped up victory over Gerard Greene in some style with a maximum 147 to reach the second round of the Gibraltar Open. The Gibraltar Open is a blink-and-you-miss-it event, with matches rolling on and off as three rounds are completed in one day. Ad/> Bingham was on an outside table, but he had the gaze of many on him as he set about knocking in reds and blacks.

The break itself was poetry in motion and as 147s go, a fairly standard one with no real alarms aside from running slightly out of position in the 40s, but it could have been so different as he got in after Greene saw a red wriggle in the jaws of both bottom pockets before staying out. Once in, Bingham kept his cool all the way through and unlike some attempts he never faltered and dropped perfectly on the final black before stroking it into the bottom left.

The event has a high-break prize of £5,000, and it is almost certain that Bingham will get a share of it.
