Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">pay for a poker hand</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Pre-deal stake" , "Card-player's stake" , "Hoofed mammal" , "'Behind, before (4)'" , "Initial stake in a poker game" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and the USA Today.
