It was most likely a Omeha high/low game. Rabbit68ou1 had the best possible low hand, which was A2367. The other guy had the best high hand with 45678 (a straight), and therefore they chopped the pot. By the way welcome to the forum :)

Hand Rankings are exactly the same in Omaha as in Texas Hold-em, Only difference is in order to win with any hand, you have to use 2 cards from the 4 you are dealt, So if there were 4 Spades on the Table and you are holding the Ace of Spades, You have not made a flush unless you are holding a 2nd card in the same suit. Likewise with a Full house you must use 2 from your dealt cards so if the board has 2 pair and you are holding 1 of the cards involved it is not considered a Full house because the 2nd card you play, breaks up the other pair on the table unless it matches one of the other 2 cards on the table.
Can be very confusing if you have played Texas Hold-em all your life and try Omaha for the first time.
Now Short deck Texas Hold-em does change the Rankings slightly because you are only Playing with 7 cards from each suit, so in order to make a Flush in Short Deck you need 5 cards from the possible 7, but with a full house you need 5 cards from a possible 8, Therefore a Flush in Short Deck beats a Full House (more confusion) and if that does not confuse you enough, try some of the other Poker variations like Razz or Horse!

You needed another heart in your hand for you to make a call there postflop. Just the ace pair makes it a fold since you had no draw for the low either.
