Double Belly Buster ( poker )


1) A five-card combination with two "holes," such that any of eight cards can make it into a straight. For example, 5-7-8-9-J; any 6 or 10 makes this into a straight. Such a combination is possible in stud or hold 'em-type games. Also called double gut shot. 2) A three-card combination with two "holes," such that two perfect inside straight cards are required, such as 3-5-7, which needs a 4 and a 6 to make a straight.
