Hong Kong's Marco Fu made a maximum 147 break during his 6-3 first-round win against England's Stuart Bingham on the opening day of the Masters on Sunday.
World number 10 Fu compiled the third maximum of his career in the fourth frame of his game at Alexandra Palace.
He made two further century breaks, both worth 103.
In the quarter-finals of the 16-man tournament, Fu will face reigning champion Ronnie O'Sullivan or Ricky Walden, who play on Tuesday.
Earlier on Sunday, World champion Mark Selby was knocked out in the first round of the Masters as he was beaten 6-5 by Shaun Murphy.
Murphy, 32, held a 5-1 lead, before fellow Englishman Selby won four frames, including a break of 120, to level the scores at Alexandra Palace.
But 2012 runner-up Murphy took the decider to reach the quarter-finals.
