LAS VEGAS ― When the buzzer on the final ride of Round 4 sounded, the crowd erupted. Silvano Alves (Pilar du Sol, Brazil), the two-time reigning PBR World Champion, had defended his Last Cowboy Standing title. Alves rodeSmackdown (Dakota Rodeo/Chad Berger/Clay Struve) for 92.5 points in the final round at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on Saturday, earning $112,400 for his efforts.

Alves has now won the second-richest event on the Built Ford Tough Series twice ― in consecutive years ― as he moved to more than 1,319 points ahead of Marco Eguchi in the world standings.

In Round 2 on Saturday, 25 men were whittled to seven with L.J. Jenkins, from Porum, Okla., leading the way, followed by Alves. Jenkins won Round 2 with 89.5 points on Slippery Devil (Wolf Creek Cattle & Rodeo. LLC). The final seven also included Nathan Schaper (Grassy Butte, N.D.), Valdiron de Oliveira (Aparecida de Goiania, Brazil), Aaron Roy (Asquith, Canada), Cody Nance (Paris, Tenn.) and Joao Ricardo Vieira (Itatinga,Sao Paulo, Brazil).

“I just blocked everything out, focused on this good bull and rode.”

Each of the final seven riders failed to make a successful ride in Round 3, requiring a Round 4 to determine the champion. The total scores from previous rounds put Alves and Jenkins as the last riders in the round.

Smackdown was restless in the chute and challenged Alves from the moment he took his seat. After a few attempts to find his position, Alves was forced to re-pull his rope, which allowed Jenkins to ride first.

Jenkins had drawn Shepherd Hills Trapper (Circle T Ranch & Rodeo), a bull he had seen twice before but had not successfully ridden. Jenkins fell just short of making the whistle, lasting 7.73 seconds.

A minute later, Alves settled into position aboard Smackdown and the competition was over.

“I am very happy,” Alves said. “I know it was the last ride of the night and was told everyone was on their feet and cheering in anticipation, but I just blocked everything out, focused on this good bull and rode.”

Monster Energy Money Bulls Bushwacker (Julio Moreno Bucking Bulls) andAsteroid (Circle T Ranch & Rodeo) made their appearance in Round 3. A successful ride on either would have been worth an $80,000 bonus. Vieira went 5.39 seconds on Asteroid, while Oliveira lasted 5.26 seconds on Bushwacker.

The buckoff extended Bushwacker’s record-setting streak to 42 straight, as he was named the Pabst Blue Ribbon High Marked Bull for the sixth time this season, registering a bull score of 47.25 points. Asteroid was marked 46.75 points.

The conclusion of the Last Cowboy Standing will air on CBS Sunday at 4 p.m. ET.

The Last Cowboy Standing is the 17^th stop of the 2013 Built Ford Tough Series and marks the beginning of the summer break for the 26-stop tour. The last nine events of the season resume beginning Aug. 16-17, in Tulsa, Okla., at the BOK Center with the Tulsa Invitational.
