Figure hoarding 1,000 diamonds gets stabbed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pricked

'stabbed' is the definition.
(pricking is a kind of stabbing)

'figure hoarding 1000 diamonds' is the wordplay.
'figure' becomes 'price' (a figure to be paid).
'hoarding' indicates putting letters inside.
'p000' becomes 'K' (synonyms).
'diamonds' becomes 'd' (abbreviation in bridge say).
'price' placed around 'k' is 'pricke'.
'pricke'+'d'='PRICKED'

'gets' acts as a link.

(Another definition for pricked that I've seen is " Stung".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
