Preflop
Standard open.

Flop
Standard C-bet (but see comments about turn play)

Turn
Betting full pot here makes no sense, since it leaves a silly small amount for the river. You need to either jam now, in which case you should have gone larger on the flop to set it up for that. Or make it a 3 street hand by betting something like 1.500-2.000. This will create a pot of 4.725-5.725 with 3.200-3.700 left behind, which is perfect.

River
As played I am ok putting him all in. Several hands made a straight, but there is a chance, you would have heard from those in the form of a check-raise on the turn or a donk bet on the river. He is also getting such great odds, that he is likely not folding any pair. If you had used proper turn sizing, its actually a lot more close. KJ, J9, 97 and 75 all made a straight, which really makes two pair shrink a lot in value. Its also not great, that the river was an A, because it might scare away hands like KQ or QJ. So if you had used proper turn sizing, a case could actually be made for checking back and taking a free showdown now.

Results
So he did in fact have a straight and even the nut straight. This is fully expected, since people are going to draw incorrectly in freerolls. This does not mean, the opponent is skilled. But it does not mean, he is bad either. Its a freeroll, so it does not matter, how he play. If he want to have fun chasing his draws, or he if wants to go for a "go strong or go home" approach, that is completely fine and reasonable.
