A seventh executive has left Zynga over the last month alone.  This time it is Laurence Toney, General Manager of Zynga Poker. 

"My departure is less about Zynga and more about the vast number of opportunities that currently exist in the Valley," Toney said of his departure to Mashable. "I have been approached by several organizations to lead teams and companies that I find exciting and compelling. It is the right time for me in my career to move on."

Zynga plans to enter the “real money” online poker mark early in 2013.  It has partnered up with the world’s 4th largest “real money” Web cardroom, 888 Poker. 

Zynga’s stocks have been plummeting over the summer.
