Million dollar pot at PartyPoker Big Game, Leon v.s Rob Young Million dollar pot at PartyPoker Big Game, Leon v.s Rob Young

Hi all, I'm not very knowledgeable about PLO and was curious what people though of this hand, on a strategy level.

Should Leon be happily getting it in with the naked straight? Feels a little reckless, but at the same isn't Rob in a tough spot as well (if Leon has the Ah instead of the Ac in his hand, he would be a huge favorite)?

Calling Rob's bet isn't an attractive option because Leon is OOP and more than half the turn cards changes the nuts. A flop call also allows other players behind to come in with their draws.

Rob is the button so folding would be too weak.

Since the SPR is only 5.5 : 1 raising with two eights, one of which is the heart can't be too awful.
