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