155 (the term "maximum break" refers to the break of 147, but it's not the highest possible one if a player gets a free ball)
Free ball + black: 1 point (counted as a ‘red’) + 7 points (black’s value) = 8 extra points
The usual 147: 120 points from reds and blacks, plus 27 from the colours
Grand total: 8 + 147 = 155 points
No pro’s have landed a 155 in a tournament - yet.
