Since such losses are very rare, the jackpotpayout is usually very large.

Insurance is a side bet (often made with other players at the table) that our hand won’t hold up after all the chips have gone in. It functions very much like any insurance policy. If our hand holds up we pay a small fee for the policy. If our hand gets sucked out on, the granter of the insurance will typically pay us the value of our equity in the pot (or possibly even the entire pot, depending on exactly what was agreed).
