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

Another thing that I haven't seen anyone mention:

SPOILERS FOLLOW:







On James Bond's BUSTO hand, he bets and gets minraised, and spots his "OMG TELL" on his opponent, which he has stated means his opponent is bluffing. Why on earth would he do anything except for call the minraise? Instead he shoves and gets the [censored] pwned out of him because he got betrayed.

"Bluffing?"
"So you've heard the term?"

I liked how Bond was all like "I can OUTSKILL him, you gotta give me the other $5 mil!!" and his girl was all like "No" and then Bond gets mad $$ from Uncle Sam and then he beats the guy because he had a str8 flush vs full house. GUESS WHAT... I CAN OUTSKILL PHIL IVEY IF I GET STR8 FLUSH VS FULLHOUSE ZOMG
