Eskimo Clark World Series of Poker Bracelet For Sale on Ebay

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Last week we saw that Peter Eastgate, the 2008 WSOP Main Event champion, put up his gold bracelet for sale on Ebay. Eastgate has said that he never wears the bracelet and it is collecting dust so he decided to sell it and give the proceeds to charity.

Well, this week it seems there is another WSOP gold bracelet up for sale on Ebay. This time it is a 1999 World Series of Poker bracelet won by Eskimo Clark.

Of course, this is not the first time we have seen WSOP gold bracelets up for sale. Other notable players have also sold their gold bracelets.
