Fergal O'Brien set a new record at the UK Championship to become the first player to compile five centuries in a best of 11 frame match.
O'Brien rallied from 4-2 down to beat Barry Hawkins 6-5 to secure a spot in the third round of the tournament.
The 44 year-old began with a 101 and after falling behind his opponent, he churned out three tons on the spin. Hawkins forced the contest into a decider with O'Brien producing a 113 to progress into the last 32 and set-up a fixture with Scotsman Stephen Maguire.
A blistering performance!
