Brief rift zone eruption between Pu'u O'o and Halema'uma'u

I was thinking about a brief eruption between the shut down of Pu'u O'o and the beginning of the Halema'uma'u eruption (maybe it was after the Kapoho eruption?...). I have this memory of seeing a video of the HVO team on-site while the cracks were opening, and lava started pushing up right under their feet. Does anyone else remember that? Got a link to a summary or video of it?

Edit: This one! 2011 Kamoamoa eruption. The video I'm thinking of is here: https://youtu.be/WwBVG0Si7rs?t=148

And here's the volcano watch article on it: https://www.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/news/volcano-watch-remembering-special-event-2011-kamoamoa-eruption
