Which villain was the maniac? I assume you mean MP?

Assuming MP is villain, the best I can come up with is to re-push over BUTTON's all-in to force MP out. If MP has a flush draw, it's easy for him to push all-in and give HERO a tough decision. But if HERO pushes, MP will have a hard time calling with a draw.
BUTTON's range is pretty tight, since he reraised and is showing tremendous strength. I'd say sets and maybe some small overpairs or 65s for the flopped nut straight. HERO's equity against that range is still a hvery ealthy 45%. If HERO can force MP out, he'll have a nice overlay on his near-coinflip.

As played, call MP's all-in. Pot odds of about 1.8/1 make the call trivially easy.

A maniac villain is gonna call with a good flush draw almost 100% of the time.

You don't have any FE and it's likely that at least one of your opponents has a higher flush draw or even a made straight. Given that you barely invested anything in the pot I'm probably folding to button's raise.

Someone should do some pokerstoving, I think Button calls here a lot.

line check? this isfine of course. what did u expect us to say?

played fine. getting it in on this flop is great.

You probably only have 6 outs here, i think you can fold to buttons raise and not feel too bad about it.
