Yeah, early probing to see which way white blocks makes sense if you then take sente. The big problem with the standard joseki is it is gote.

My guess is the plan is something like the below. Black takes the empty corner so that the turn at :b9: plus extension to around a works with the 2nd corner he took. (Or just makes san-ren-sei or whatever with 9, with the turn as an aim for the future as it might be a bit heavy now).
