An unbelievable fluke shot in the current 2024 Snooker Shoot Out event left the commentators as shocked as the crowd in Leicester. Zak Surety was in need of inspiration as he trailed Liam Pullen 48-36 in their clash, finding himself snookered behind the blue and the brown.
He managed to come off the back cushion and connect with a red though, although there appeared little control over his shot.
But as Surety glanced up to see where the balls would end up, anxiety turned into astonishment as the red cannoned off the yellow and into the middle pocket.
And on Eurosport, the pundits struggled to contain themselves, with one saying: “Ohhh unbelievable, but is he on anything? Yes, the yellow is coming back.”
A smiling Surety wasn’t able to capitalise though, prompting the quip: “i need a drink myself after that. We’ve seen some outrageous flukes in this event so far. You can’t make it up.”
Unfortunately for the Englishman, there was little time to capitalise on his good fortune. After he missed the yellow, his teenage opponent got one more visit in, playing a neat safety shot before the 10-minute time limit expired.

Pullen’s victory means the 19-year-old will be here on the second and final day of the raking event at the Morningside Arena. And regardless of how he performs tomorrow, he’ll take home a cheque of £1000 for this troubles.
Surety meanwhile, will receive just £500 for managing a single win. He’d previously come though a low-scoring affair with Jimmy Robertson, taking the frame 21-13.
