22:45 How hard did you cry when you split with aces?
That’s the question for Stefano. He shoved his 181,000 with Ad As, and Dumitro on the other side of the table called with Ah Ac. The flop Qh 4h 5h certainly didn’t please Stefano any more than the showdown itself. However, the turn Qd and river 7d saved him from the worst, and the pot was split.
