"Howe" does Weigel Do It?

Kevin Howe shoved for 117,000 under the gun and Frank Weigel called with his shorter stack of 90,000. Everyone else folded and they turned over their cards:

Howe: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Weigel: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The flop gave Weigel extra outs when it came {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, but it was the {9-Diamonds} on the turn that put him in the lead. In order for Howe to knock out Weigel, he was going to need an ace on the river.

When the river hit, it was the {2-Spades} giving Weigel the 195,000 pot and dropping Howe to 29,000.
