Which leaves material even.

Ok think about it this way: Material is even now and white's king is looking rather stupid in the middle of the board.

It doesn't look threatened enough to give Black a winning advantage to me.

Black reduces previously lost material and has in my opinion advantage. Not that great, that's nothing leading directly to win, but about 0.5 to 1 point. Also, that strategy forces white to ideal playing, in other case white loses extra points (to 2).

@fissionfowl: actually, I think its very well-positioned for the endgame that will arrive soon enough. still it looks stupid, never said it was risky...
