Curious about how others would handle this as the dealer, the host, and/or as the players in the hand.
Private game with a dealer.
Double board Omaha bomb pot.
Two players get it all in on the turn.
They want to run it twice (i.e. four boards total) and the house allows it.
The dealer runs two rivers on each board, but weirdly places the rivers in line with the two boards, making two long rows (as if there were “oceans,” i.e. two six card boards instead of four regular ones).
Player A says he scoops, and turns over his hand.
Player Z looks confused, and turns over his hand, and says “Wait, don’t I win one board?”
Multiple players start shouting that no, no A scoops. The dealer looks lost and pushes the pot to A.
Dealer starts dealing the next hand. It finishes and a second new hand gets dealt.
Now Z belatedly chimes back in again: “Wait, I should have gotten a quarter of that bomb pot. I won the second board.”
Action on the new hand stops and a long debate ensues. The table and dealer agree that the bomb pot result was misread. The dealer tells Player A to give Z a quarter of the previous pot.
Player A protests and says, “That’s B.S., you can’t go back two hands like that.”
Player Z initially says, “But I showed my hand and said I won one of the four boards, what more can I do there with all of you shouting that he scooped?”
But when A gets testy Z says, “Forget it, whatever.” A keeps the full pot and play resumes
Dealer says “That was my bad,” and offers to give Z half of what he shorted him out of his own pocket at the end of the night.
Z says nothing and still looks pissed.
About an hour later Z stacks A, and tells the dealer “You don’t owe me anything now, I got it back from him anyway.”

You will never catch me push any part of a pot to a player until I have read all hands and deliberately killed the losers...even if both players pull their chips back and say "it's a chop". If people start yelling, I will ask them to stop, and wait until they are finished. before I even start.
