Answer

Definition of up the ante  [ raise the ante]  
1. to raise the opening stakes in a betting game. Example:
 Pete upped the ante on the poker game to $100 per hand
. Don't up the ante any more. You're betting far too much money already.

2. to increase a price. Example: Sensing how keen the people looking at the house were, Jerry upped the ante another $5,000. "Don't try to up the ante on us," said the man, "We know what the asking price is."
