Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">poker payment</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 "Preposition meaning before" , "Betting stake" , "'Behind, before (4)'" , "A neat sort of prefix" , "See what gambler risks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, The New York Times and the Penny Press.
