Out of the Woods

An interesting hand just played out on table 371.
Grant Woods has been MIA for the majority - if not all - of today's tournament.
Slowly being blinded away, Woods was eventually all in for his ante and also placed in the big blind.
The table folded to Roland De Wolfe who tabled his 
to have a slight advantage of Woods' 
.
The board however ran out 
to see De Wolfe lose the pot to Woods.
This when the trouble began.
The Tournament Director was called over to discuss whether Woods' hand was live or not, and if De Wolfe should have been pushed the pot since Woods was absent from his chair.
The final ruling was that since Woods' hand was tabled to be live he was warranted the pot for the amount he was all in for. The next ruling was that when this situation arose again, Woods hand should be automatically mucked.
A few hands later Woods found himself all in once again for an ante, but following the Tournament Director's instructions, he hit the rail.
