After finally being alerted to the situation by the referee, the Scot poked his head around the divide – just in time to be hit with a barrage of noise as Robertson stroked home the final shot in a brilliant maximum. The sound was so loud that he ducked! “A wonderful break from Neil Robertson, the man who prides himself on 147s has a made a maximum at the Crucible,” bellowed Yates. McGill was joined by Trump at the partition as the pair offered handshakes to Robertson, who was basking in the 12th maximum in Crucible history.
