Doug: ...a straight will put you in a tie with Michael and then we'd play Dice Poker to break the tie. A flush or better sends you to the championship round of Joker Poker.
Chico: Okay. Time to go with the mojo here... 5, 11, 9, 24, and 18.
Doug: MoJo? You know Melissa Johnson, too? (audience laughs) She's one of my co-workers -- goes by that nickname. Anyhoo, let's see what ya got..

Doug: Well, interesting. This hand's worth just 5 points. If you replaced an Ace with a 10, you'd have a straight and we'd roll the dice for the tie-breaker. A flush or better wins the round and you've got two Clubs and two Spades if you want to go for the flush. Either way you go, it's a tough decision. What do you do?
Chico: I think I'll play to tie here. Replace the A-clubs with... 19.
Doug: OK. Going for the tie. Is a 10 behind 19?
