'Wow, what is going to happen next?' - watch Peng's 'incredible' foul against White
Peng Yisong was looking set to take the lead against Jimmy White with just one red remaining in the third frame of their last 32 encounter at the German Masters.
Peng was 48-31 down but had just potted a red and was going for a relatively simple black but required the rest to reach the cue ball.
As usual, the referee got the long rest out but Peng accidentally knocked the pink with it when picking it up which counts as a foul.
In snooker, you cannot touch a ball with the equipment, be it your own cue or the rest. If it happens, you give away a four-point penalty, or five, six or seven points if you were about to pot a blue, pink or black.
Unfortunately for Peng, he was going for the black so conceded seven points.
“Wow!” acclaimed Eurosport commentator David Hendon. “What’s going to happen next in this frame? That’s incredible.
“Tales of the unexpected. That could come back to haunt him in a big way.”
White couldn’t take advantage straight away as he missed a tricky red to the middle. Then, Peng had another slice of luck with his next shot as the cue ball doubled kissed the red which inadvertently gave him a snooker.
A few minutes later, White managed to pot the last red and went on to win the frame so took a 2-1 lead which proved to be an important moment in the match.
