. Can the five-time bracelet winner make a Lazarus-like comeback?

The remaining tables have 15 minutes to cool their heels before rejoining battle.
A preflop showdown between Pedro Javier Piazuelo Ferrero and Eugene Yanayt was in progress when we got there - within moments Yanayt had doubled up 300,000 while Ferrero dropped to 215,000.

Yanayt: 
Board: 
Shiraz Soltaninassab has doubled up with 
against Tamas Lendavai's 
for what looked to be a 200,000 plus pot on a board of 
.
Daniel Idema has doubled through Will Molson with 
against on a 
board, Idema moves up to 300,000 and Molson has barely 10,000 remaining as we hit the break
It looked as though Francois Billard had raised under the gun and Jason Grad had shoved from the button; either way the two Canadians' cards were on their backs when we got there - that grandest of coinflips.
Billard:
Grad: 
Board: 
Grad doubled to around 200,000. Billard stared at the board like a man bereaved. He shook his head - he's down to just 25,000.
There was around 30,000 in the pot by the time we arrived to see a 
flop; Alex Gomes checked in the small blind before calling a 15,000 bet from Josef Bachar on the button.
The turn was the and Gomes checked again. This time the bet from Bachar was 40,000, the Israeli leaving himself just 55,000 behind. Gomes didn't like the look of that, and after just a few seconds' thought he had folded. Still, on 450,000 after that, around double the average, Gomes remains very comfortable indeed. Bachar is up to 160,000.
Sarah Grant caught up with him at the break.
Every time we walk by Kristoffer Thorsson's table he's raising to 11,000 preflop, relentlessly. Judging from the slight dent in his stack this policy hasn't reaped huge rewards as yet, but he's a continual deep runner and must be doing something right. Just now he did it again and found Xuan Liu on the small blind shipping for 140,000 or so - that one he laid down without a fuss.
Liu is a recent addition to Thorsson's table - she started off with a mid-low stack and still has below average, but seems unfazed.
Ted Forrest, was crippled when his 
couldn't overcome Carlos Mora's 
in an all in preflop altercation. This left Forrest really short with about 25,000 remaining but he managed to double up with 
against Javier Martinez Gil's 
on a board of . He's now up to about 60,000 but it's only 10 big blinds.
