Backdoor Straight

In hold'em or Omaha, a straight that is completed using both the turn and river cards. For example, if a player has {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and the flop comes {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades}, then the river is the {6-Spades} and river the {7-Hearts} to complete a backdoor straight. See also "Runner-Runner."
