Page on heavyweight receiving nothing from card game (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pontoon

'card game' is the definition.
(pontoon is a card game)

'page on heavyweight receiving nothing' is the wordplay.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'heavyweight' becomes 'ton' (a ton weighs a lot).
'receiving' indicates putting letters inside.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'ton' enclosing 'o' is 'toon'.
'p'+'on'+'toon'='PONTOON'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for pontoon that I've seen before include "Flat-bottomed boat supporting bridge" , "Vingt-et-un" , "Bridge of boats" , "Blackjack" , "Card game - type of bridge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
