In General Relativity, a point mass is a black hole. The collision of two black holes is a very complicated problem that has to be solved using numeric supercomputer simulation. The short story is that they end up coalescing to a single black hole.
There are some complications from this answer that could arise from spin-orbit coupling, but I don't think that's what you're asking about.
