It's called BTR-IRV in this post:
https://election-methods.electorama.narkive.com/LKfc52OI/an-example-of-btr-stv#post4
(Electowiki also has a page on it:
https://electowiki.org/wiki/Bottom-Two-Runoff_IRV)

That's Bottom Two Runoff (but also "better").

The term "ranked choice voting" is too ambiguous for me to tell whether
you could just move it right over and call the method BTR-RCV. To me,
"ranked choice" sounds like just another way of saying "ranked", but of
course, FairVote thinks differently.
