Yes of course there's the free ball way but you could also......

.......pot yellows with each of the final 2 reds (Break of 6), pot the yellow (Break of 8), play for the green but foul on that shot by potting the yellow.

4 yellows & your break is 8.

If you were playing for the green you would be on the colours so the yellow would stay off the table after you potted it.
