The 2020 UK Championship is only three days old, and already there's been two maximums. Stuart Bingham's brilliant 147 in his 6-2 win over Zak Surety followed hot on the heels of Kyren Wilson's maximum on Tuesday. The break is Bingham's seventh 147 of his career, putting him fourth in the all-time list.

Stuart Bingham produced the seventh 147 of his career on Wednesday, moving the 44-year-old into fourth place in the all-time list for career maximums.
Bingham's brilliant clearance came in the sixth frame of his 6-2 win over Zak Surety, and he followed it up with another stunning 140 break in the eighth and final frame of the first round match at the UK Championship.
The 147 came just a day after Kyren Wilson had sunk a maximum of his own against Ashley Hugill, with the pair now set to share the £15,000 prize pot.
Reacting on social media shortly afterwards, Wilson joked "Cheers Bingham, you had to take my limelight didn't you!".
Bingham's flawless frame is the third such clearance in a fortnight at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, after Judd Trump's 147 en-route to winning the Northern Ireland Open at the same venue.
The maximum is the seventh of Bingham's stellar career, moving him clear into fourth on the all-time list, behind only the legendary trio of Stephen Hendry, John Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Neil Robertson and Joe Perry both eased into the second round with 6-0 wins over Brian Ochoiski and Alex Borg respectively, while Jordan Brown won 6-5 against Martin Gould.
