Acho mais fácil dar antônimo, pois ter um "Poker Face" é caraterística mais comum nas culturas da Inglaterra e dos EUA. Mas não tem bom meio de expressar isso em inglês, apesar de dizer, por exemplo, "He wasn't exactly poker-faced about it"
to make faces
Don't make faces when I tell you we are going to grandmother's house.
When I told her the price, she made a face.

complementando a sugestão do thomas:
make a face (at someone) and make faces (at someone)
1. to show a funny or distorted expression to someone in ridicule.
Ex: Mother, Billy made a face at me!
Ex: The teacher sent Jane to the principal for making a face in class.
2. to attempt to communicate to someone through facial gestures, usually an attempt to say "no" or "stop."
Ex: I started to tell John where I was last night, but Bill made a face so I didn't.
Ex: John made a face at me as I was testifying, so I avoided telling everything.
Me parece que isto seria mais como" fazer uma cara torta", não?

Concordo com pondedaniel. "To make faces" significa sacanagem ou desprazer, como "fazer uma cara torta" em português.
