5-Card Poker

D.J.: Ace of Hearts. Still one pair. Now it's over to Brian's hand.
Brian, your last card *needs* to be royalty in order to collect the 25 points. A King completes a straight. Queen or Jack would give you a better pair. The 10 would not help -- since Dom's Ace kicker would be better than your Queen kicker.
Deej, let's see that last card for Brian.

Doug: The 9 of Diamonds. It's not enough. Dom now leads 70 to 10.
Doug: Well, we had one major comeback in the last round. Will another happen here? We finish up this round with the Poker Run.

Doug: In this round, players, we make no adjustments to the score. Questions in this Poker Run are worth 15 points each. But if one of the next two cards from the top of the deck is a face card, the value goes up to 20 points. If both are face cards, we play for 25 points a question.
Let's see our cards for the Poker Run.
D.J.: No help here. The 10 of Hearts and the Ace of Spades.
Doug: OK, we still play for 15 a question. Dom, you only need two right answers to reach Joker Poker. Brian, you'll need six right answers to play against the champ.
Got a lot of questions here as we start the Poker Run -- NOW!
