Same thing that happens when a regular-wood house catches fire?

Doesn't it release all the sucked up carbon?

Yes, resulting in a net-0 change -- the CO2 that went into it is equal to the CO2 that is released from burning it.

Doesn't that mean that all the captured C02 is then released into the atmosphere?

Yes, but most man-made wooden structures do not catch on fire. They just sit around, sequestering CO2 for a long period of time.
