Definition
A straight draw that needs one specific card to complete. A gutshot is also often called an inside straight draw because of how it is built: the missing card is in the middle of the unfinished combination rather than at an end, as in a regular straight draw. For example, with 5 6 in hand and an 8 9 K board, the player has a gutshot with 5 6 8 9 and needs a 7 to complete the straight. A gutshot has only 4 outs, while an open-ended straight draw has 8.
