She moved to San Francisco in California since 2007 and its turnover is at this day of 519 M$. Its founder is Mark Pincus.
This time, it is MarketZero it comes to buy. The name of MarketZero you said probably nothing, but if I told you PokerTableRating, it tells you something?
MarketZero (founded by Gustavo Abdala, Amir Elaguizy, Nir Leibovich, Timothy Sullivan and Jason Wang) is owner of the more hands of poker tracking site in cash games on the Internet. But, according to the leader of Zynga, is not PTR portal that interests them, but the people who work for PTR. In this regard, the PTR site will be even not managed by Zynga and will continue to operate as if nothing had happened.
The question that remains is, what a top Zynga? Why does she want the expertise of the people who work for PTR? Is Zynga paves the way for future American laws on online poker? Probably that when the laws in the United States will be clearer as to the poker online, Zynga will want to hit very hard with a team of Thunder and full projects head.
Zynga has also announced the arrival of Jeffrey Katzenberg, the DreamWorks animation studio boss, in its Board of Directors.
