2012 Abe Yanofsky Memorial - Standing after Round 4

Round three leader Fletcher Baragar was held to a draw by Jeff Babb, but Willis-Iyer was also indecisive, so Baragar still leads by .5 going into the final round.  Iyer cut it close, as I observed him having only 2 seconds on two occasions, and one second once, before pressing his clock and gaining the 30-second increment.
