Barry Hawkins wins the 2025 Budapest Snooker Masters and makes maximum 147 break

Held at the Gerevich Aladar Arena, this was the seventh time that such a high-profile event was being held in Hungary, but the first time it was played as a tournament.

The weekend showcase in the capital city featured four professional players - Hawkins, Revesz, Neil Robertson and Shaun Murphy - and was a huge success with impressive crowds in for all four sessions.

All four competitors played each other in a round robin format, with each match consisting of six frames (all frames played). Following the completion of the group fixtures, the top two cueists went through to the final, while the bottom two played for third place overall.

Hawkins finished top of the league with a 100% record after winning all three of his matches. In the opening session of the event, the four-time ranking event champion compiled a maximum 147 break during his 5-1 victory over Neil Robertson.

Rookie professional Revesz - who has only just turned 18-years-old and is Hungary’s first snooker professional - came second and qualified for the final by virtue of frame difference after he and Robertson were both tied on three points each.

Career Triple Crown winner Murphy - who was hampered early on when the tip came off his cue in the first frame of his opening match - lost all three of his group matches.

During the final session of the event, Australia’s Neil Robertson fashioned the second maximum 147 break of the weekend during a 2-1 loss to Murphy in the third-place playoff.

Later in the evening, Hawkins completed a perfect weekend as he recovered from 2-1 down to defeat teenager Revesz 5-3 in the final to win the Budapest Snooker Masters title. Hawkins top scored with a break of 123 during the match.

Both Hawkins and Murphy are set to be playing in the upcoming 2025 Masters at the Alexandra Palace in London. For the full draw and match schedule, please visit here.
