The 2012 UK Championship (officially the 2012 williamhill.com UK Championship) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 1–9 December 2012 at the Barbican Centre in York, England. It was the fifth ranking event of the 2012/2013 season.[1]
For the first time in the history of snooker three maximum breaks were made in a ranking tournament, albeit at different venues. Andy Hicks made the 93rd official maximum break during his round 2 qualifying match against Daniel Wells. This was Hicks' first 147 break.[2] Just one day later Jack Lisowski compiled the 94th official maximum break during his round 3 qualifying match against Chen Zhe. This was Lisowski's first 147 break.[3] John Higgins made the 95th official maximum break during his last 16 match against Mark Davis. This was Higgins' seventh 147 break.[4] It also took the total number of maximum breaks for the season to seven.[5]
Judd Trump was the defending champion,[6] but he lost 5–6 against Mark Joyce in the last 32.[7][8]
Mark Selby won his third ranking title by defeating Shaun Murphy 10–6 in the final.[9] This was the tournament's first all-English final since 1992, when Jimmy White defeated John Parrott 16–9. By reaching the final Selby also regained number one position in the rankings from Trump.[10][11]
