Mark Selby maximum sets up Mark Allen quarter-final showdown at British Open

Mark Selby downplayed his fourth career maximum after hitting 147 in his 4-1 win over Jack Lisowski at the Cazoo British Open.

The Englishman recorded the milestone moment in the opening frame of the last-16 match in Milton Keynes, potting a marvellous treble in the process.

"Just to make a 147 in any tournament is a good achievement," he said. "But to do it there, live on TV, was an extra-special feeling."

The Leicester man's reaction was still subdued for fear of any premature celebrations.

Selby said: "It’s great to make it but it it only wins one frame so it’s pointless giving it the big’un and then you go on to lose 4-1 and you look a bit of an idiot, really."

The pinnacle. The maximum. 1️⃣4️⃣7️⃣ Watch every shot from Mark Selby's fourth ever - including THAT treble
