Poker Community Mourns Unexpected Loss of Jason “Clozer” Kapoor at 29

In MemoriamJason KapoorMichiganPokernews 🕒 2 🗒️ 359

The poker community received sad news this week when word surfaced that Jason “Clozer” Kapoor, a well-known player from both the Michigan poker community and the Midwest circuit, ended his own life at 29 years old.

Born December21, 1994, Kapoor left home when he was just 14 years old and worked 70 hours a week at a Dunkin Donuts during his teenage years. He began selling cars before eventually turning to poker full-time in 2019. Originally from Michigan, Kapoor had relocated and built a home in Thailand at the end of 2022, often sharing pictures and videos of his adventures on social media.

While primarily an online and cash game player, Kapoor had $153,355 in lifetime earnings according to The Hendon Mob. That included a career-high $41,721 for finishing third in the 2022 Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) US Poker Championship.

Kapoor held a dominant chip lead during three-handed play and it looked like he was going to be the champion, but he then proceeded to lose four close all-in scenarios to fall to eventual champ Ken Baime.

Ray Malone III & Jason KapoorKapoor, who had lost his mother two years earlier, learned while competing in that tournament that fellow poker player and his best friend of 15 years, Ray Malone III, was killed by a drunk driver

“He dedicated what would be his biggest lifetime score to him when he ended that tournament in third place,” said Kapoor’s friend and poker reporter Liam Gannon. “He wore his heart on his sleeve and was just a very no bullshit kind of guy. One of the most infectious smiles in poker.”

PokerNews offers its condolence to the friends and family of Jason Kapoor, who made an indelible mark on everyone he met.

I only became friends with him over the last year when he was already sick but even in that short time we had some really interesting talks – he had a very different perspective to many issues – which made for some long (and occasionally heated) back and forth and a number of prop bets. I’ll especially remember how he made a number of very generous charitable donations that no one knew about. I’ll miss you Mark- rest in peace my friend. Baruch Dayan Haemet”
