🔬 Step-by-step Analysis

🟦 Board Alone

6♠ 7♠ 8♠ 9♠ 10♠ → 10-high straight flush
This is an incredibly strong board. In Omaha, you cannot play the board unless your two hole cards don’t improve it.

So: if neither player can use two spades from hand, they cannot make a flush, and must go for other hands.

🔑 Key Insight

Even though the board is a straight flush, neither player can use two spades from their hand, so flushes don't count. The hand comes down to one pair vs one pair.
