LAS VEGAS —

Phil Hellmuth has been eliminated from the World Series of Poker main event, ensuring that the no-limit Texas Hold 'em tournament will have a new champion.

Hellmuth, who won the main event in 1989 and has a record 11 gold bracelets at the world series, pushed in his last 405,000 chips on Sunday with an ace and a queen but found himself up against the pair of jacks of New York poker player Andrew Rosskamm.

Hellmuth had an ace-high flush draw after the turn, the fourth community card. But a two of spades fell on the river, and Hellmuth was eliminated in 45th place.

Hellmuth won $154,400. He was the last remaining main event winner in the field.
