MarketZero, the company behind the poker stat tracking portal PokerTableRatings, was recently purchased by Zynga, the company behind numerous highly successful social games for Facebook.
Zynga has been on a company buying tear having bought 11 studios in the past 11 months. The PokerTableRatings purchase is particularly interesting as its their first poker related purchase. Zynga described MarkeZero as a "pioneering force in the online poker world.”
Could Zynga, with its 37 million free play Texas Holdem players, be possibly gearing up to dive into the real money online poker game? If so, you can expect they'll be significant player in the industry.
