Both players put $25,000 each in the pot and jumped straight into the action:
The heads-up match lasted for several hours and even though there was plenty of money on the line, both players certainly had a lot of fun.
MrBeast is mainly producing funny videos, and the team shared plenty of laughs during the match.
The event was also live-streamed on Twitch as well and after hours of playing heads-up, they decided to run a final poker hand betting $25,000 each.
It basically came down to a coinflip to end the $50,000 heads-up match and MrBeast came up ahead with two pairs on the board and queen high kicker.
As a result, Ludwig tweeted out the next day, that is probably the first person in the world to hang out with MrBeasts and end up losing money.
