Fu pots 147 maximum in Masters snooker

Hong Kong snooker player Marco Fu is into the London Masters quarter-finals after potting a 147 maximum in his 6-3 win over England's Stuart Bingham.

Hong Kong's Marco Fu hit a 147 maximum break on the first night of the Masters snooker at London's Alexandra Palace on Sunday, the third of his career.

The 37-year-old's stunning display allowed him to open up a 3-1 lead in the best-of-11 frame contest against England's Stuart Bingham before going on to complete a 6-3 win.

Fu will face defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan or Ricky Walden in the quarter-finals.

Fu's previous 147s came against Ken Doherty at the Scottish Masters in 2000 and in World Open qualifying in January 2012, when Matt Selt was his opponent.

Earlier on Sunday, Shaun Murphy reached the last eight of the London Masters with a tight 6-5 win over Mark Selby.
