Something like this used to exist in the ancient high-ante stud days. The limits wouldn't go up, but the killer would have to match everybody's ante.
So in a 20/40 with $5 antes (I know, I know) a table would start with $80 in the middle rather than $40, but it would still be 20/40.
It may have been 10 big bets (that was always described as 20 small bets, for some reason) that triggered it, but I don't really remember the exact format.
At any rate, this really promoted action, and wasn't merely a ploy to reward nits.
