Eskimo Clark Getting Hot Under the Collar

Level 1

Stud:

While making our rounds we witnessed Paul "Eskimo" Clark angrily fold his hand by throwing his cards at the dealer, so we thought we'd stick around and see what the commotion was about. A few hands later, during the Stud round, we watched Clark check and call bets by his opponent on all streets, with each call punctuated by an aggressive toss of his 100 denomination chips.

Eskimo: (X)(X) - {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Opponent: (X)(X) - {J-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

After calling the last bet, Clark watched his opponent flip up his down cards, which were the {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}. While starting with only a pair of fives, the opponent had made a full house with eights on sixth and seventh street.

This did not go over well with the Eskimo and he again winged his cards across the table while mucking his hand.
