Greeks Bearing Gifts

Georgios Kapalas, the young Greek player who finalled at EPT Barcelona last season, is heading south - he's just lost two hands in a row, one of them a monster.
Hit #1
Terrence Chan raised and Kapalas reraised from the button before both players checked the 
flop. Chan checked again on the 
turn and this time Kapalas bet. Chan made the call.
Both players reverted to checking on the 
river and Chan turned over pocket sixes. Kapalas nodded and mucked, and Chan extended his chip lead.
Hit #2
The very next hand, Kapalas opened from the cutoff but faced a reraise from Adrian Dresel-Velasquez in the small blind.
Flop: 
It looked as though Dresel-Velasquez bet out and Kapalas called, although it all happened at lightning speed. Either way, only two bets in total found their way into the pot on the flop. But on the turn...
Turn: 
Dresel-Velasquez bet out and this time Kapalas tanked for a while before raising. Back to Dresel-Velasquez, who swiftly reraised. Kapalas called and they headed to the river, the pot by now massive.
River: 
Dresel-Velasquez bet out again and Kapalas sighed before making the call. Dresel-Velasquez had a look of complete innocence on his face as he flipped 
for a full house. Kapalas mucked and was down to 278,000.
