Players still have to use two cards from their hand and cannot play the board, like in Hold'em.
On an Omaha board of 10-9-8-6-4, a player with hole cards 10-10-7-7 has the same 10 high straight as a player with hole cards 9-8-7-6, and the pot will be split evenly between them.Ī tricky situation in Omaha is when three of a kind or four of a kind falls on the board.However, it is quite common for Omaha hands to be identical for a straight. In Omaha, it is not possible for two players to split a pot with a flush because Omaha requires players to use two cards from their hand, which will make the strength of their hands unique.
To be identical, their best hands have to have all five cards absolutely identical in rank. A split pot is necessary when two or more players have an identical poker hand, a 'tie', and all of the chips they win- whether in a single pot or more pots- are divided equally between them.
