I think it would take a very good player to pull this off. Assuming there's nothing to draw at, the person would have to have had this plan from the get go. His plan would be to check twice, let the person bet at him twice, and then take the pot away from him at the river, and expect that that line of play would pay off. That would be quite a feat! A much more common variation of this would be to check/call the flop and then check/raise the turn.
