If anyone can answer this please, I don't play Omaha and came across this interesting question.

Scenario

Hand 1: T645
Hand 2: A822

Board: 47844

Hand 1 has a straight, how come hand 2 hasn't got full house?

It does.

And hand 1 has 4 of a kind not a straight.

In Omaha, you play exactly 2 cards from your hand and exactly 3 cards from the board.

So player 1 plays 4444T and player 2 plays 44422.

Sure.

In Omaha you must use two and ONLY two of your hole cards plus three and ONLY three on the board to make the BEST five card hand.

So hand 1 you would use T4(444) and hand 2 would use 22(444).
