I read a great WSOP diary a couple years back that was written by a relative amateur player who won his main event seat online pre-BF and ended up making a deep run (he may have finished ~40th?). All I remember about him was that he was a teacher. The thread had a ton of comments and encouragement. Can anyone remember this/link me to it?

Relatedly, does anyone have links to other great/inspiring WSOP diaries from years past? I like reading these to get psyched up for the series!

I hate how lazy you are but im guessing you're talking about "Main Event Rookie Lives The Dream- A Trip Report" now that you have the exact title you can search it here or put the title in on Google and you will find the thread

Essential 'get pumped for WSOP' reading for any amateur player. (Read it three times already).

First time I've read that TR. Great read. Just curious...were you taking notes during the tourney or did you just have an amazing recollection of hands and players?

Thanks for reading. It was a combination of some notes here and there, memory, tweets, and texts to friends.

Just read your TR and all I have to say is thoroughly enjoyable but...
