Even if you you bet, and no one calls, you still have the option of showing your hand, or mucking it. So if he bets, and the other players fold, he shows his hand, and still wins the bonus.
One of the other players had an A high flush (apparently), if the player with the RF bets, the guy with the flush has to figure out were he is in the hand. Plus the guy with the RF only had $100 left behind him.
With the pot at around $400, the player with the Royal Flush shoves his last $100 chips into the pot, the pot is now at $500. It is costing the guy with a flush $100 to win $500 (5:1). He definitely has to call the $100. Unless he is certain he can put the EP player on a Royal Flush.
