Lim told Sky Sports: "It’s unbelievable. The PDC World Championship is the cream of all the darts tournaments and to be part of it is an honour.
"It’s tough, I’m running out of stamina," he added before waving to the crowd as they danced to Gala's 1996 hit Freed From Desire.
Suljovic was quoted on pdc.tv as saying: "Kevin beat me before and I told him on the stage that's 1-1 now so it's a good feeling, it's brilliant.
"I'm happy I'm here, this is brilliant playing on that stage with this crowd. It's amazing."
