Ronnie O'Sullivan became the first man to reach 1,000 career centuries as he sealed a 10-4 win over Neil Robertson in the Players Championship final.
The five-time world champion went into the match needing three more centuries to reach four figures.
He made two in taking a 7-2 lead at the end of the first session in Preston and achieved the landmark with a 134 to retain his title.
Stephen Hendry (775) and John Higgins (745) are the only others to pass 700.
In trademark O'Sullivan style, he paused and calmly switched his cue to his left hand before rolling in the milestone-clinching red.
Wow, congrats to him: he's well clear of Stephen Hendry in second place now !
While I'm not a great fan of the guy himself, he's certainly produced a lot of magic moments which will be remembered for a long time - not least of which was his 775th century, to equal what was then Hendry's record:
Even if it was a fluke, he made it look planned and deliberate: he's just that good!
