Robert Paul Clark grew up in Stockton, Missouri, one of seven brothers and sisters.
Before turning to poker, Eskimo Clark was a veteran of the Vietnam War, where he worked as a dental assistant.[citation needed]

He has also made money finishes in the $10,000 No Limit Hold 'em Main Event in 1997 (19th) and 1998 (25th), where he was eliminated with pocket aces.[2][3]
In 2003, Clark won the $1,500 No Limit Hold 'em event of the Bellagio's Five Diamond World Poker Classic, earning a $160,095 prize by defeating a final table including Erik Seidel, Chris Karagulleyan, Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott, Johnny Chan and Huck Seed.[4]
Clark began playing the World Poker Tour (WPT) during its second season. His second-place finish in the World Poker Challenge $5,000 No Limit Hold 'em event earned him $310,403.[5]
Clark's last cash at the World Series of Poker was in 2007.[6]
His total career winnings exceeded $2,700,000.[7] His 20 cashes at the WSOP account for $632,005 of those winnings.[8]
