If all provide the same estimate, move to the next story without discussion. If numbers are not the same, have the high tell why it is hard, the low tell why it is easy and play a new card. This usually leads to better understanding of the story or of how to implement the story. If you cannot converge, maybe put the story aside for discussion later. I suggest not getting hung up on the rules and do something that keeps the process moving. Generally a team will converge on an estimate.
