The next cards were a 2 and a 3, missing out on quad 2's with kicker. I did complete a 22233 full house, though.
We've discussed this before. We're still not entirely certain if the machines are continuously shuffling between the deal and draw (when first the 5 cards are showing). These missed hands are really only worth lamenting if the next cards drawn are lying in stasis, waiting on top of the deck of remaining cards.
