Perelman Pulling at the Leash

A middle-aged gentleman opened with a raise from middle position, and both Rob Perelman and Charlie Hook made the calls, the latter coming along from the big blind.
The three men took a 
flop, and Hook checked. The raiser continued out with 4,000 chips, Perelman called, and Hook ducked out. That brought the two live players heads up to the 
turn, and the action repeated with Perelman calling another 4,000.
The 
double-paired the board on fifth street, and the aggressor wasn't slowing down now. He did take pause for just a minute this time, but he eventually flicked out another 9,000 chips to put Perelman to the decision. "veeRob" would spend the next couple minutes in the tank, and he eventually started chatting with his opponent.
"Wow," Perelman said. "You really have me befuddled." After another few seconds of one-sided conversation, the dealer warned Perelman not to talk to the other player while making his decision. Perelman took exception to the message, and his eventual fold was anything but the end of the hand.
There was a floorman standing right nearby, and Perelman asked him to clarify the rule. "You can talk durning the hand, but you can't discuss the contents of your hand," the floor answered and walked away. Perelman took the opportunity to scold the dealer for his interjection, using his first name to speak to him like a parent instructing a child. After listening for a moment, the dealer said something quietly to the other side of the table, and Perelman flatly said, "Hey. Knock it off." A few more words were exchanged, and Perelman quickly called the floor over again. "Hey, can you tell your dealer to stop mouthing off to me?"
The floorman stepped in between the two men and said, "Let it go. Both of you." And that was that.
Perelman is down to about 32,000 after surrendering that pot.
