Chip in a poker chip (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Stake (that may be upped?)" , "Poker-player's stake before the deal" , "Pre-deal stake" , "Stake put up by a poker-player before receiving cards" , "Opening bet" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
