2. GutShot Straight Draw ( GSD )

In OESD you need fifth cards at the beginning or end of the combination, then the fifth card in the GSD is there missing one card in the middle to make a straight combination. This gives the GSD has a higher level of difficulty in performing drawing compared OESD. Also known as an inside straight draw.
