| Pokerstars awards the wrong guy a winning hand!!!! (omaha)
I'll start by saying, i emailed Pokerstars about this and I am not posting details as to exactly what happened until i get a response back from them.
Here is a brief description:
Playing in a Turbo Omaha Hi/Low Split Tournament with a $3.40 buy-in.
A hand came up where the pot was split between 2 players 1 had hi and one had low, or so it seemed. The the guy with low actually had both hi and low, 3 8's on board, and one guy pair the ow card and one guy paired the hi card. But they gave the winning hand to the wrong guy.
What do you guys think about this? I'll post the entire hand history after i get an email back from them. This is 100% true, no BS.

x-y-z-A vs b-c-d-4
BOARD= 8-8-8-A-4
Neither player has a boat. CLICK HERE
EDIT: I can't wait to read the reply from PS. LOL

I call BS with out the hand history.
I love Omaha Hi/Lo , so many people think they can read the board but are clueless.
I've seen it live where the board is     
and one guy had the  and nothing other heart thinking he had the flush.
The other player had   and scooped with the wheel.
Buddy with the King of hearts couldn't figure out why he didn't win the high.

Once every year or so I wonder why my low hand did not win then realize I was at a high only table.
The original post is really bizarre spam as it is clearly wrong and serves the poster no purpose (even if somehow it was genuine). Once in a while someone sneaks around Darwin's theory :P
Odds of a hand being posted which includes the hand number (so anyone can verify) and the outcome the original poster states is 0%.
Odds we will not see another post by the original poster is 95%. Let's hope the odds play out on that one.

#10 | | Full PFC Member | I have a question
Being a person who doesn't play Omaha, I'm just curious why the person with the K wouldn't be able to make a flush. How does that part of the game work? Do you have to have 2 suited cards in hand to have a flush?

If he only had the Kh, and no other heart, he doesn't have the flush.

both players had pocket pairs. One was higher than the other, and didnt get awarded. Pokerstars emailed back saying that they are looking into it, and i havent got a second email back. Everyone assumes, that i am only using one card from 1 players hand, i know the ruls in omaha, and placed 3rd in a tournie with 450 players last week. check officialpokerrankings.com not sure if theres any on sharkscope, but you can check that too. if you wanna see recent results playing omaha. Anyways, Pokerstars hasn't replied a second time yet so i dunno.
Edit: PS handle is the same as this one studhand81
Edit 2: Forgot to mention, one of the guys i sent the hand to had seem something similar, and it was also with trip 8's. Seemed strange
