12...b5! appears to be a very good move by Rybka, unexpected for Houdini and equalizing completely.

This game goes towards a 90% sure draw.

The pawn structure is almost symmetrical; Houdini is trying to keep the minor pieces on the board to avoid the draw as much as possible, but I think there's no way out.

Btw while I think (as I said) that this will be a draw, for the first time in this match Rybka has the better position and Houdini is a little on the defending/passive side.

Let's see how Rybka behaves here (with a little different parameters). This could be without problems an exit from a book line (albeit a little drawish).

Also in Game 3 Rybka had a clear advantage for a very long time.
Houdini just played 25.h4, it clearly doesn't like a draw!
