The break came in the fourth frame of Mehta’s match with Brijesh Damani who was leading 2-1. Damani, after inducing a snooker foul from Mehta, missed a red pot and left the Mumbai player on. Mehta, the 2011 national champion, went on to sink all the 15 reds, followed by 15 blacks and the colours for a 147 break.
