Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 1510741, member: 23910"] All players have to use [B]exactly[/B] two of the cards in their hand and three of the board cards to make a hand in Omaha. The board may be paired twice but nobody can play that two pair because they can't use four board cards - they can only play three of them. An example: Player 1: Kc Qc Js 9s Player 2: 6h 6s 8s 9h Board: Ah Ac 3s 7d 7c Player 1 has: Ah Ac Kc Qc 7d Player 2 has: Ah Ac 6h 6s 7d Player 2 wins because he has two pair, aces (from the board) and sixes (from his hand) with a seven (the next highest single board card, which plays as the kicker). Player 1 can't make a second pair so he just plays the two highest cards in his hand (the king and queen) to go with the three highest board cards (the two aces and one of the sevens). For the pot to be split, Player 1 would need to have had the other two sixes in his hand to make an identical two pair hand (aces and sixes with a seven kicker). [/QUOTE]
