First chip in the pot, say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Initial stake in a poker game" , "Preposition meaning before" , "Poker pot starter" , "Fixed stake" , "Each player's initial contribution to the pot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
