Initial bet in poker (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Pre-deal stake" , "A neat sort of prefix" , "Money put at risk" , "early payment" , "Stake put up by a poker-player before receiving cards" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
