ElkY freeroll winner sets his sights on victory
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
The joy of freerolls. Not something pros would batter an eyelid over, but often a great way for amateurs to win free money to build up their bankroll. And although the prizepools might not always be worth writing home about, one pops up every so often that's worth braving the eye-watering fields to play.
Take when PokerStars announced a series of freerolls hosted by Team Pro's Marcin Horecki and ElkY, where the winner would win a trip Rozvadov and entry into the PokerStars Festival Main Event. You can read his story on the PokerStars blog.

On a board of

to survive. The 
on the turn and on the river didn't help the Russian and he headed for the rail.
