PokerTek appointed Mark Roberson acting CEO of the company after former CEO Chris Halligan resigned May 29. Roberson has been PokerTek’s CFO and treasurer since October 2007.
   

“Mark has proven himself as a capable leader, and we feel he is the right person to lead PokerTek at this time,” said PokerTek Chairman Lyle Berman. “The top priority for the management team under Mark’s leadership will be to accelerate PokerTek’s progress toward cash-flow-positive operating results.”
   

Roberson will continue to serve as CFO and treasurer until PokerTek finds a replacement for the position.
