Not a whole lot is known about poker pro Paul “Eskimo” Clark. One thing that anyone who has sat down at the same table with “Eskimo” knows, however, is that he is one of the most aggressive poker players around.

“Eskimo” has used his intensely aggressive play at the poker table to make a living at the game for the last 15 years at least. Many people believe Clark is from Alaska or somewhere else up north due to his cool nickname. In reality, Clark hails from New Orleans and his nickname was derived from his appearance, which resembles the Alaska Airlines Logo thanks to his bushy hair and beard.

Clark makes a living by playing in some of the richest cash games in the world at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, and his success has earned him the 62nd spot on the all-time poker money list. When he’s not raking it in at cash games, Clark also takes in some tournaments including making stops at the World Series of Poker and on the World Poker Tour.

Clark has won three WSOP bracelets in the last 15 years. His first bracelet win came in the $5,000 7 Card Stud event in 1992. His next bracelet win was in the $1,500 Razz event in 1999. His most recent bracelet was won in 2002 at the 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo event.

Despite Clark’s colorful appearance and personality at the tables, he is not one of the more well-known poker pros and as a result not much is known about him away from the tables. The little-known facts about Clark include his birth place (New Orleans), his current residence (Las Vegas), and that he is a Vietnam Veteran, where he worked as a medic.

The rest of Clark’s life remains a mystery, which may give him an advantage at the tables behind his somewhat scraggy appearance and reflector shades.
