Then came the brilliance, and after potting the first red in frame three O'Sullivan halted proceedings to ask what the prize for a 147 was, only to be eventually told there was no additional purse and only a £4,000 sum for the highest break.
He potted some outstanding balls in his maximum, achieved in barely 10 minutes - even with the delay when researching about the 147 prize - but shook hands with King after potting the pink.
Referee Jan Verhaas persuaded O'Sullivan to finish the break and he duly slammed in the black in nonchalant fashion.
"I wasn't going to pot the black because I asked and was told there was no break prize for a 147," O'Sullivan admitted to the BBC.
"What's the point of making a 147 if you're only going to make £4,000?"
