Shares in online poker company Zynga surged over 8 percent Monday on news that Yahoo! was possibly considering buying the company.

Zynga’s shares have risen over 50 percent in recent months as the games developer makes plans to enter the real money online gambling market. So far, New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware have legalized various forms of online gambling.

Wunderlich insists that Yelp, not Zynga, is the likely target company of Yahoo!
