Put some chips on the table, in a way (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Stake put up by a poker-player before receiving cards" , "Betting stake" , "'Behind, before (4)'" , "Hoofed mammal" , "Preceding birth" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
