No. A 147 includes 15 reds, 15 blacks, and all the colors, so it would appear to be the maximum. If your opponent fouls with a snooker, you may get a color for a "free ball" for your first red, and thereby get a "16 red" clearance. About six such clearances have been recorded. The highest snooker break is not, as previously reported, Tony Drago's and Eddie Manning's 149s. It's Wally West's 151. He made the break in the final of a club handicap at Hounslow Lucania in 1976 against Butch Rogers. 155 is possible. See the snooker home page, listed above. -
The highest possible break is snooker is actually 162. First player (A) must make 159 points in fouls. Therefore score is 0 - 159. Then player (B) fouls, giving player (A) 4 points and a free ball. Score now is 4 - 159. Next player (A) takes free ball with the black and then the 15 reds with blacks plus all the colours, a total of 155. Score is now 159 - 159 leading to a respotted black. Player (A) then wins the toss, pots the black which is in the rules of snooker is added to his break. Final break 162!

A respotted black doesn't count towards the total of a break.
