It's my understanding that this is a special jackpot outside what the people playing the hand actually win. I think the winner of the hand is still the winner of the hand, but the special jackpot kicks in and the money gets divided up however it gets divided up. I believe the other people who are at the table get a cut because the thought is they may or may not have contributed to the bad beat depending on how the hand played out.
I think that's right, but am not positive.
