This is where you made a "big" mistake, (one that could cost you the whole pot or half of it). You should raise here with the object of knocking out the two early position checkers.

Missing the raise on the flop and getting two callers on the turn, the check here is prudent. Someone with a non-nut flush might not bet it, but probably would call your bet and might check/raise. Same for someone with a wheel or low straight.

Proper timing is very important in hitting a baseball and also playing Omaha-8. Often the best time to pounce is on the turn. But with this hand/flop/action the best time to pounce is when UTG bets the flop.
