$100 T-Rex, ITT I spew off a stack on river versus aggro Brazilian reg

Blinds: t250/t500 (7 Players) BN: 15,763
SB: 16,915
BB: 30,279 (Hero)
UTG: 41,490
UTG+1: 17,433
MP: 23,937
CO: 25,754
Villain is a well-known, aggro Brazilian reg. Most of you will have played with him. Plays a lot of hands, some very unconventionally. Hates folding. I have a reasonable amount of history with him that I think would likely make him expect me to be pretty station-y versus him.
Preflop (750) Hero is BB with 8 8
3 folds, CO raises to 1,204, 2 folds, Hero calls 704
I think this is fairly straightforward. Don't see too much reason to do anything else here. Villain probably expects me to defend quite wide.
Flop (3,008) K 7 4
Hero checks, CO bets 1,250, Hero calls 1,250
Again, don't think anything but check-call is really an option. My check-calling range still includes a few stronger hands, but mostly a lot of Kx and 7x. I'm not eager to check-call pairs worse than 7x very often versus this villain since he will put me in tough spots later on, but I may do it sometimes.
Turn (5,508) K 7 4 J
Hero checks, CO bets 2,750, Hero calls 2,750
I decide to check-call again here. I think villain can be value-betting quite wide here (any Kx, perhaps as weak as AJ), but I also think he's likely to bet a lot of draws and gutshots - any spades, 86/65/T9/T8/98/AT/QT/AQ and maybe even a couple of others, given how wide villain's preflop range is. I decide to call and consider heroing certain rivers, but this is close to the bottom of my calling range obviously.
River (11,008) K 7 4 J 6
Hero checks, CO bets 6,750, Hero raises to 25,025 and is all in, CO calls 13,750 and is all in
Here's where it gets tricky. I thought this was a spot where bluff-catching didn't look too attractive, now that his spades hit the river and some of the other draws may have shut down. However, I realised that my own range includes a lot of KsXs and 7sXs hands, so considering villain's likely tendency to value-bet quite thinly here as well as bluffing sometimes, I thought it would be a good spot to check-shove and get villain to fold any one-pair hands he was betting for thin value (probably K9+ or KT+), as well as perhaps folding some of his weaker 2-pair hands like J7 or K4, and all his bluffs obviously.
Final Pot BB lost and shows a pair of Eights.
CO wins and shows two pair, Kings and Jacks.
CO wins 52,008
In the end villain snapped me with KJ without a moment's thought. This made it hard to avoid being results-oriented, so I figured I'd post the hand. Interested to see what you guys think.

Thanks, guys!
