I used freecell-solver-fork-solve to find all of the FCPro deals impossible with seven freecells in Baker's Game. There are 364 such deals, all of which are winnable with eight freecells:

There are constructed deals that require nine freecells (fc-solve and patsolve verify that these are impossible with eight):
AC 3D 5H 7S 9C JD KH
AD 3H 5S 7C 9D JH KS
AH 3S 5C 7D 9H JS KC
AS 3C 5D 7H 9S JC KD

It seems that there should be deals that are more difficult than this, but so far I have not managed to find any.
