In fact, it is possible to attain a break of 155 in snooker. Here's how.
Before any of the balls is potted, one of the players commits a foul and leaves the other player snookered. This player then exercises the right to choose a free ball, which he pots for one point. Then he pots the black for seven points. At this point he has run up a break of 8 and still has 15 reds on the table. He then pots 15 reds and 15 blacks (15*(1+7) = 120) and all the colours (2+3+4+5+6+7=27) to conclude his break of 155.
