An update on the Everleaf Gaming situation, Zynga talks real-money poker, and an awesome Scotty Nguyen soundboard. It’s all in today’s edition of the PTP Hit and Run.
Everleaf update: Everleaf Gaming has been silent ever since it pulled out of the United States and France earlier this week. Not much new has come out in the days since. Although a report at PokerFuse here says the “U.S. withdrawal was due to a seizure of player withdrawals in transit that has blocked the network’s US processing channels.” About $27K was seized, according to the story. And former Subject: Poker writer Diamond Flush has more details about the Everleaf case here.
Zynga and real money?: Online gaming giant Zynga addressed the possibility of the company joining the world of real-money poker and gaming after its earnings report was released this week. The word from the chief operating officer? It’s still on Zynga’s radar. Story here.
