Opening stake (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

'opening stake' is the definition.
(stake in poker)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Fixed stake" , "Gaming stake" , "expected from stake" , "Stake put up before the deal" , "Stake; before (Lat.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The New York Times and the Newsday.
