Jack Lisowski’s Stunning Four-Ball Plant Wows Commentators and Punters at World Snooker Championship
Jack Lisowski has certainly made a statement in his World Snooker Championship campaign with a jaw-dropping four-ball plant that left fans and commentators in awe. The 32-year-old from Cheltenham faced a tough challenge against Ding Junhui in the first round of the Crucible tournament, but managed to pull off a remarkable shot in the sixth frame.
Trapped behind a row of red balls, Lisowski showed incredible composure as he used the momentum of four balls to sink one red into the corner pocket. The commentator on duty during the game initially doubted Lisowski’s ability to execute the shot, describing the challenge as a “snake of reds,” but was left speechless by the Englishman’s fine effort. Snooker punters were equally amazed, with many taking to social media to praise the shot as “excellent” and “insane.”
Despite falling behind 2-0 early on after Ding’s impressive 127 clearance in the opening frame, Lisowski fought back with breaks of 72 and 91 to level the score at 2-2. The match continued to be a close affair, with Lisowski eventually taking a 5-4 lead heading into the next session on Wednesday.
Having reached the last eight of the World Championships in 2022, Lisowski had to qualify for this year’s tournament after dropping out of the top 16. With six ranking finals under his belt, including one maximum break in professional competition, Lisowski is determined to make his mark at the Crucible this year. Fans will be eagerly awaiting the continuation of his thrilling clash with Ding Junhui as he looks to secure a spot in the next round.
