Lesson #1. Carry on your phone a list of the rules if available.
My quick reading of the WSOP rules says nothing about a requirement to be at the table once you are all in. Now the WSOP has rule 1, so they can do whatever they want. As psandman wrote, it would be a bad decision to kill the hand due to chip dumping concerns.
I'll note that as a philosophy, I believe killing a hand is the worst decision possible in 99% of situations.
