Negative Freeroll concept (PLO8 MTT)

Question - on this turn, with these stack sizes, and a non-made hand, is it better to check the turn HU and see what comes on the river, folding only to a counterfeited low that does not make aces up, and calling any other all-in bet assuming 2nd nut low should be good? Based on the stack size, I don't think there's any fold equity on the turn, but what cards could we possibly fold to on the river?

Edit: MTT new table, no info on villain other than stack size

Push..... You can't be considering folding getting 1800+765):765 or 3.35:1 pot odds if he calls.
You want to take it down, NOW. It's H2H, what are you worried about it's only 10% of your stack.

you're not folding the river no matter what comes. Pushing is fine....I guess checking could be ok as long as you call if he bets on the river.

Thanks. As played, I checked, and the awful black four came on the river, which meant that I was now behind on the low to any A3, A5, 35, and that I had the bottom two for high on a board that had a crapload of possible straights. Gack.

Should have put it in on the turn so I wouldn't have to make a puke decision.
