The unheralded Bozinovic, whose career cashes prior have been exclusively in Belgrade and total just $46k, outpaced the field to bag up 975,000 and end the night in first overall.
He’ll lead Dutchman Paul "padjes" Berende, a $2m+ winner online, with 895,000 when play resumes at Casino Baden tomorrow for the playdown to the final six.
Rounding out the top five after Day 3 are Fedor Holz (642,000), Rien de Vries (583,000) and Adrian Apmann (502,000.
Staszko, Rettenmaier and Sbrzesny Still Alive
Sitting just off the lead pack is a trio of recognizable pros all looking to make a much bigger splash than just the $10,760 they’re now guaranteed.
2011 World Series of Poker Main Event runner-up Martin Staszko - $5m richer than he used to be but still not far removed from working in an auto plant in his native Czech Republic – is in the best shape, sitting in sixth overall with 421,000.
