BEIJING, April 4 (Xinhua) -- World No.5 John Higgins lost 2-6 to Jack Lisowski in the last-32 match on the same day Stuart Bingham making 147 at World Snooker China Open held in Beijing.
Lisowski started the match with a 95-point break before Higgins tied the match with a 70-point one. A break of 72 helped Lisowski take lead again before Higgins made it 2-2 before the interval. After the break, Lisowski stormed four frames to stop the Wizard of Wishaw in the second round of China Open.
The China Open seemed like a place where amazing happens as 2015 World Championship winner Stuart Bingham made 147 the day after Ronnie O'Sullivan did the same thing. The maximum came in the seventh frame of his match against Ricky Walden in which he won by 6-5.
This is the fourth 147 of Bingham's career and the 138th of snooker's history.
Bingham will share the 42,000-pound prize money consisted of 35,000 from the rolling pot for 147s and the 7,000-pound high break prize equally with O'Sullivan if no one makes 147 again in the 2018 China Open.
Mark Selby, the current World No. 1 and defending champion of 2017 China Open, defeated Ben Woollaston 6-3 with two 135-point breaks.
