Floor said, had they allowed him to rule, that he woulda let the raise stand.

This ruling would have been incorrect. Also allowing the players to work it out in a tournament is wrong as the other players are impacted.

So what is the correct ruling? Punishing the guy who was just moving in to the seat is wrong. Punishing the blind by letting the new guy raise with knowledge that it'll be heads-up is wrong. Calling it a do-over is wrong. I ain't got it figured out how you fix this without screwing somebody.

Players miss hands all the time while transfering tables, I really don't think it rises to the level of "punishing" to simply muck that players hand because he wasn't at the table when it was his turn to act.
