Thinking or Hollywooding?

Lee Watkinson and Gary Benson were invovled in two pots. During the first one, Benson opened up for a raise of 8,000 from UTG. Watkinson raised to 30,000 from the cut off. Benson went into the tank for five minutes before he folded.

On the next hand, on a flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Benson checked and Watkinson bet 10,000. Benson went into the tank for another five minutes before he called. The turn was the {7-Clubs}. Benson checked. Watkinson bet 20,000 and Benson quickly moved all in for his last 30,000. Watkinson folded and fired his cards into the muck. Watkinson mumbled something to the player next to him about how he thought Benson went "Hollywood" on the flop call. Benson did not say anything as he stacked up his chips.
