For the moment, if you put 10 player in the simulation, you've got the
following error in HandHistoryWriter:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Full-Tilt format only supports 9 players,
but 10 players are seated

I suggest that this message is turned into a warning. You can do it this
way in HandHistoryWriter:

private boolean warningDisplayed;

private void writeInitalGameInfo() {
...
if (gameInfo.isActive(9) && !warningDisplayed) {
log.warning("Full-Tilt format only supports 9 players, but 10 players
are seated");
warningDisplayed = true; // don't display warning next time
}

// Player Seats
// Seat 1: player1 ($0.33)
for (int playerId = 0; playerId < gameInfo.getNumPlayers(); playerId++)
{
...

Another problem is the seat permutation which doesn't work currently for 10
seats. However, as far as I understand the discussion
http://pokerai.org/pf3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3272, the permutation formula is
ok for 10. So you just have to enable this in TableSeater:

private int[][] createSeatPermutations(AbstractGameDescription
gameDescription) {
...
if (numSeats == 4 || numSeats == 6 || numSeats == 10) {

Finally, it seems that the MCTS bot doesn't work with 10 seats but I have
no clue on how to solve this.

hum, there is a little issue with my changes. Please replace the code above
in writeInitialGameInfo by this:

// Player Seats
// Seat 1: player1 ($0.33)

for (int playerId = 0; playerId < gameInfo.getNumSeats(); playerId++) {
if (gameInfo.isActive(playerId)) {

I know that you can't import the hand history file with 10 seats in Poker
Tracker 3 for example because of FullTilt format limitation, but I'm
working on a iPoker hand history writer which solves this. I will submit my
changes when they are ready.
