Yet to me it looks like the dealer forces Roland's cards the rest of the way down onto the table and pulls them out of his hand.  But he had shown the K which should mean that Roland still won.
 
There are only 2 ways I can think of in which Tobias wins the pot without having to show.  The first way is if Tobias raises and Roland folds, but that way's very obvious.  The second is if Roland very obviously throws his hand away and verbalizes defeat.  I believe there's an instance between Jean Robert Bellande and Phil Hellmuth where Jean Robert calls and Phil says something like "you have it" before mucking but trying to force Jean Robert to show his cards.  Jean Robert refused, and apparently it was within his rights, but it still seemed kinda douchey.  
 
As for "show one show all", it's possible they changed the rules for tournaments because Daniel Negreanu often shows just one card at the table on PAD prior to bitching about how he can't believe they want to stop people from being able to do that.
 
But as far as I know you can show just one card to win or after an opponent folds.  I like that aspect for a couple of reasons.  Reason 1, you can keep your kicker hidden and thus keep your opponents guessing.  Reason 2, you can mess with their heads by showing just the lo after they fold.
 
I still think Roland won.  On top of that he was trying to get the officials to watch video of the incident.  Why would he do that if he was in the wrong himself?  Since it was being taped, would it have killed the officials to actually watch the video, possibly vote on it, and come to a conclusion that at least looks impartial?
