After a friend introduced him to PokerStars, ElkY realized many of the skills he\'d picked up in pro gaming were well suited to poker. It was not long before he was winning money on a regular basis. Since then, ElkY has become c, and was the first player to reach the Supernova Elite level in the PokerStars VIP Club. But it is not just online where he has scored big. ElkY came second in the PokerStars EPT Copenhagen in 2007, taking home prize money of $ 399.953. In the same year, he made his first final table of the World Series, finishing ninth in the No Limit Hold\'em $ 2,500 for $ 29.124. Its flagship came in early 2008 at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA).
ElkY beat a field of 1,013 players to win a massive $ 2,000,000. He also performed well at the 2008 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP), cashing in several events for more than $ 400,000 - including a 2nd place finish in the final $ 25,500 No Limit Hold\'em Heads-Up, worth $ 320,000, and his hot streak continued in October 2008, when he won the World Poker Tour Festa al Lago $ 15,000 event at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, collecting $ 1,411,015 in prize money.
