Ronnie O’Sullivan and snooker stars get second chance at winning £800k with one shot

The world’s top-10 snooker players will each get an opportunity to make history.

Ronnie O’Sullivan and co. will be back in Riyadh this December for the second time in under a year.

It has been announced that Saudi Arabia will host the second edition of the Riyadh Season Snooker Championship, which was first held in March. The unique tournament offers players the chance to win a staggering cash prize, worth just shy of £800,000, if they become the first in history to notch a 167 break.

Each match at the tournament will include a golden ball which becomes live only when a player makes a rare 147. And if they pot that ball, worth 20 points, with their next shot, the money will be theirs.

Nobody managed it in March’s trip to Riyadh, after which the chairman of Saudi’s General Entertainment Authority, Turki Alalshikh, pledged to double the reward from £386,000 to £772,000 for the player who breaks new ground.
