Wooden post (5)

I believe the answer is:

stake

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for stake that I've seen before include "Financial interest" , "Post; gamble" , "Investment" , "Ante, bet" , "Money gambled" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph and The Times.
