Poker payment (4)

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 New York Times, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, the Universal and The Wall Street Journal.
