Quite frequently a mini-raise is a pretty big pair. At least often enough that I'm not falling in love with TPTK holding A9. I think your call pre-flop was reasonable given the odds and a decent hodling. I would have led out for about 5,000 and play from there. If he called or raised I'd fold pretty easily.

And even if you knew he had AK you shouldn't be pushing here. He has 5 outs (since you have an A) which makes him about an 8 to 1 dog to hit an A or K (or Q or J) on the turn. If you bet about half the pot he would be getting 3 to 1 odds so calling by him would be incorrect. In fact, you could bet even less and it would be an incorrect call although I wouldn't bet too less because that could be interpreted as weakness and you might face a raise from a hand you're way ahead of, which would be tough to call.
