Put hands out for old port (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deal

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'put hands out' is the first definition.
(deal out hands of cards)

'old port' is the second definition.
(historical port in Kent)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for deal that I've seen before include "Transact" , "Business transaction of timber." , "Agreement; hand out cards" , "Share out (cards); wood" , "A port, a bargain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
