Given the read that they are pretty solid players they're not going to call your push with a worse hand. And calling is out, so I fold.

OK, both villains have about 400. Hero started with 200
The guy in the middle is probably going to fold, or is trapping.

As for button, he's committed vs. hero (it's only $65 more), so even if he has a hand like A9 or A7 he's most likely calling. And 88,55,66 is going to be conflicted as well.

I agree it's either push or fold for hero. Clearly Button was trying to force that decision. Lots of bad players, with dominated hands who realize this, go ahead and push because they can't fold. But I don't know if button knows hero knows it's push/fold, and is putting him to that tough decision with an inferior hand.
