The pictures aren't quite exact, but I swear if you saw Carl Olson yesterday, you would've seen him with his mouth hung slightly open, head tilted nearly the same, and wearing el mismo blue Full Tilt hat that Phil Ivey wears. Dominating his table in the $2,000 NL Event, Carl Olson is the Blonde Ivey. Quiet, 24 year-old hunk that he is, Carl Olson finished Day One 14th in chips with $54,700. I had a chance to talk to him before he started today: "I went from $40,000 - $75,000 when they were playing down from 215 to 198. Over the course of three orbits I basically doubled my stack without having to show down. I volunteered to show AK and 99 once, but I never had to show a hand," said Olson. The bubble, like usual, had most of the players on guard, and Olson took advantage.
