It's basically a butterfly guard sweep from standing. I noticed they drilled it a ton on the BJJ Fight Quest episode.

I find it to be very effective. I pull it off a lot.
A good time to try this is when your opponent grabs a single leg on you. If his finish isn't quick enough, you can hook your leg inside the thigh, grab his belt over the shoulder, hop close to him, and counter with sumi gaeshi.
