Default Casino Royale question (SPOILER)

How did the action/board texture go in the final hand where bond scoops a huge pot with straight flush vs. nut flush vs. 8s full vs. aces full??

I was talking this hand over with a buddy of mine and said something along the lines of "Bond can't bluffcall so villian has a pretty easy laydown"

If I recall correctly, action on river went something

Bond checks,
A goes all in for 6M
B goes all in for 5M
C raises to 10M or so

so given previous action Bond really can't be making this move with anything LESS THAN THE STONE-COLD NUTS. You can't bluffcall 10million dollars and there's no value in making a squeeze play raise here since Bond would HAVE to showdown vs A and B.

Is Bond really capable of value raising anything less than a straight flush on a paired, fourflush board after 3 people have put in 5M+ each??? If Bond thought it through enough (which obv he would do cuz he's James Bond) he probably wouldn't even raise in that spot if he had Aces full as straightflush is likely given 3 players moving so much money in the pot.

But hey, it's just a movie
