Not only that. He only had 1 Gauge at that time, so he needed to NOT top-deck into Bastard, THEN draw into it with the C&D.

And in my opinion, the fight with Rouga would be much better if Gao and Rouga tied, so they could look at one another as equals. ( I don't care if they do it in the show, because a tie would've been SOOOOOO fitting there. )
