I am a Holdem player and just learned omaha, so sorry in advance if this is a silly question
Ok, so i watched the following Hand on Full Tilt:

*** SHOW DOWN ***
Niki Jedlicka shows [Ts Jd Ad 9d] a straight, Queen high
David Benyamine is sitting out
David Benyamine mucks
Niki Jedlicka wins the pot ($53,194) with a straight, Queen high
What i was wondering:
- Niki checked behind on the flop, thus Benyamine´s for leading the turn is decently wide.
- Niki has a Monster-draw (OESD+FD) and a very good equity.
My Question:
Looking back at the Hand i thought repoting it on the turn might have been a good play for niki, since he should have a decent amount of fold equity.
But he chose to call, and this actually pretty quick. I wonder if benya pays him off a lot, because niki shouldnt be able to win the pot as a bluff, since he actually hits the usual "bluffing outs" like the flush etc and is not able to bluff them.
What is the thought process behind calling vs repoting in this spot?
thx.
