Yes, recently, OTB, a NM who outrated me by some 360 points, he played with black: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 a6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e6 5.Nc3 Bb4!? and he outplay me since I was lost as a duck out of the pond. When I came back home I looked in the DB, what a hell of Sicilian has he played?
And this variation is called O'Kelly where the best for white is not go 3.d4 but 3.c3, an Alapin structure that stops the pin of Bb4.
So the Sicilian is something that you study years and years and never is enough. From B20 to B99 there is always a surprise hidden.
