In a very short time, Serbia poker player Vladimir Bozinovic has been able to build a poker resume that anyone would be envious of. He was looking to add to that resume in starting the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event’s Day Six with 2.91 million in chips among the 79 players that remain. However, he finished in 46th place for $152,000, the last player paid out before the jump to $186,000.

From 2010 to 2012, Bozinovic primarily concentrated on building his game in his home country. He would make six cashes in tournaments in Belgrade over that time frame before his breakthrough came in 2013.

In Austria at the World Poker Tour Baden that year, Bozinovic etched his name on the WPT Champions’ Cup by defeating a final table that included Grzegorz Wyraz, Marvin Rettenmaier, Kimmo Kurko, and Paul Berende and take down his largest career tournament score of $247,588.

If Bozinovic were able to make it to the final three tables of the 2014 WSOP Main Event, Bozinovic would have eclipsed that personal record and, if he made the final two tables, he would double his lifetime career winnings at the minimum.

Nobody has ever said that making it to WSOP glory isn’t without some challenges, however. Bozinovic faced off with fellow professionals Tony Ruberto(5.235 million chips) and Eddy Sabat(2.215 million) on Day Six of the 2014 Main event. Add into the mix some strong amateur players such as Jason Johnson(3.47 million) and Robert Campbell (3.215 million) and the road to making the second leg of poker’s Triple Crown by Bozinovic was definitely a daunting task.

When the 2014 Main Event played down, the Serbia poker community on PocketFives had a scant 344 players, which meant Bozinovic’s run could spur a Moneymaker Effect of sorts should word of his run resonate throughout his homeland.
