It should be noted that your "tournament director" in the first case wasn't even aware of cash game rules. Once a hand has been tabled, the cards speak. As was stated above, the dealer was the actual person in control of your hand at that point. It's not possible for the hand to be mucked as it has been shown-down. Granted, in a cash game you have a stronger imperative to protect your hand until the pot is pushed to you (as the tournament rules about not being able to fold an all-in hand don't always apply) since even a dealer can misread a hand from time to time.

That's from the cash game rules. So even throwing your hand into the muck doesn't always demand that the hand be declared dead.
