Carlos Leiva is an Argentinian poker player who became a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner at the 2025 WSOP in Las Vegas.
Leiva's first recorded cash came in September 2014, with his first victory coming in April 2015 in his native Argentina. Leiva didn't record a live result between December 2015 and June 2022, when he returned with a bang with a pair of cashes at the 2022 WSOP, including in the $10,000 Main Event.
In December 2023, Leiva won a $2,750 No-Limit Hold'em event on the Enjoy Poker Tour in Uruguay for $440,000. Several five-figure scores followed before he finished second in the $5,550 NLHE Super High Roller on the Enjoy Poker Tour in Uruguay for $100,905.
At the 2025 WSOP, despite being a No-Limit Hold'em specialist, Leiva entered the $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event. Three days later, he emerged victoriously with the bracelet and $237,852 in tow.
