I play it the way Alex did (which is not surprising, I've been following Alex for years) but I would have check-raised the turn. I think weaker players are more likely to speculate, even when the odds are against. On the river, he knows his Ad7h is just a bluff catcher, but on the turn he thinks he could possibly hit the nuts. I was debating raising to 70 or just going all-in. Probably all-in will be more likely to get paid. And I'm worried that the river card will kill the action, as it did here.
I thought a bigger bet of 13 to 15 bb on flop. The 7.25 was surprising to me. I just thought if villain called a 15bb on flop then it would put wm at the top of his range
I have to admit that I overfold to those flop min-raises. I appreciate the thorough explanation of how you played against that, as well as turn/river.

Being an information gathering game the larger bet then call would allow me to better range him
