It’s all over! Kaue Vinicius De Souza (pictured) has been eliminated from the first-ever WPT Uruguay Main Event in second place, and Juan Gonzalez has won the title!

On the fourth hand of heads-up play, Gonzalez raised on the button to 550,000 with the blinds at 100,000-200,000 with a 25,000 ante. De Souza reraised to 1.4 million. Gonzalez moved all in, and De Souza made the call with the Club 10Diamond 10. Despite being dealt such a powerful holding for heads-up play with pocket tens, De Souza was one-upped by the Diamond JHeart J for Gonzalez.

The flop was Heart AHeart KSpade 3 to keep Gonzalez in the lead, and the Heart 7 on the turn only made things worse for De Souza, as he now had just one out.

The dealer burned and turned one last time for the river, and it was the Club Q delivered. De Souza was officially eliminated in second place, earning $76,960.
