Snooker Endurance Record
World Snooker Endurance Record Holder Breaker Paul Morgan
Something different from the snooker world aside Ronnie O'Sullivan kicking everyones ass and Jimmy White calling himself James Brown for a hot minute, so he can advertise for HP Sauce.
The World Endurance Snooker Record has been broken by amatuer snooker player Paul Morgan after he played 300 consecitive frames of snooker in 73 straight hours.
The Guiness book of world records states that the snooker player can have a 5 minute break every hour but Paul Morgan played snooker for a straight 24 hours without a break atall, eating and drinking while playing snooker all the while. I guess he stopped at 24 hours for an ablution break heheh.
In the first day, Paul made 5 century breaks with a top score of 132. As the days went by Paul got tired and scored less heavily, understandably so.
The first frame of snooker in the endurance test was against comedian Bernard Manning in front of the tv cameras to kick off the event, which was for charity. The Christie Hospital In Manchester was the recipient of the charty fundraiser by Paul Morgan, so far £3000 has been raised and hope to raise up to 5 or maybe £10 thousand.

gamBLOG comment :: I like snooker and used to be able to play quite well. My feet used to get tired of walking around the snooker table after a couple of hours, so I reckon Paul Morgan's feet must be in bits by now.
