Satisfied to pick up point in draw (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tempt

'draw' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'satisfied to pick up point' is the wordplay.
'satisfied' becomes 'met' ('meet' can be a synonym of 'satisfy').
'to pick up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'point' becomes 'pt' (**).
'met' written backwards gives 'tem'.
'tem'+'pt'='TEMPT'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for tempt that I've seen before include "Entice (to sin)" , "Attract, charm, entice" , "Allure, entice" , "Entice; risk provoking (fate)" , "Entice - persuade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
