The UK Championship 1992 was a snooker tournament that was played from November 13-29, 1992 at the Guild Hall in Preston . Last year's finale was reissued, but this time with the better ending for Jimmy White . He beat John Parrott 16: 9 and was able to win a final of the UK Championship for the first time on the third attempt. After the Masters in 1984 it was the second of the three big snooker titles for the Englishman nicknamed "Whirlwind".
On the second day of the tournament, Peter Ebdon achieved the second maximum break in tournament history. However, it was his last frame win in the opening defeat against Ken Doherty . It was the 15th official 147 break in professional snooker.
Prize money
After the drastic reduction in the prize money in the previous year, it rose again this time and almost reached the level of 1987. This meant, among other things, a doubling of the prize for the winner. In addition, they stopped paying prize money to the losers in the qualification. For this, the losers in the first main round received £ 1,550 , the third highest bonus since the tournament was founded.
