Zhang Anda left disappointed after lights go out on bid for 167 break There were unusual scenes on the opening day of the Riyadh Season Snooker Championship as a power problem saw the lights go out with Zhang Anda at the table bidding for an historic break.
Zhang did win the match 4-0, but speaking to DAZN after the win, he said: ‘Little bit disappointed I missed two chances to make the 167, I got chances.
Zhang was well on his way to doing just that in the first frame of his match against Saudi wildcard Ahmed Aseeri, but he was not helped by a problem with the power at Boulevard City.
There was a stoppage of around half an hour as the problem with the power supply was fixed before Zhang returned to the table to try and complete the money-spinning break.
The tournament in Saudi Arabia features a golden ball worth 20 points but only available to pot after a player makes a 147, which means a 167 break is possible.
